Answer:
[tex]225\text{ in}^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that the bases on a softball field are square. We are asked to find the area of base.
We know that area of a square is square of its side length.
[tex]\text{Area of square}=a^2[/tex], where 'a' represents side length of square.
Upon substitute [tex]a=\text{15 in}[/tex], we will get:
[tex]\text{Area of base}=(\text{15 in})^2[/tex]
[tex]\text{Area of base}=225\text{ in}^2[/tex]
Therefore, the area of base is is 225 square inches.
