Area and volume SAT question

Choice C is correct. The area $A$, $\text{in}\text{square}\text{centimeters}({\text{cm}}^2)$, of a square with side length $s$, $\text{in}\text{cm}$, is given by the formula $A=s^2$. It’s given that the square has a side length of $55\text{cm}$. Substituting $55$ for $s$ in the formula $A=s^2$ yields $A={55}^2$, or $A=3,025$. Therefore, the area, $\text{in}{\text{cm}}^2$, of the square is $3,025$.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.

Choice B is incorrect. This is the perimeter, $\text{in}\text{cm}$, of the square, not its area, $\text{in}{\text{cm}}^2$.

Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
