Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming you are talking about a square of side length
[tex] \frac{1}{5} cm[/tex]
Then we can find the area of the square using
[tex]A= {s}^{2} [/tex]
where s is the side length of the square.
We substitute the value to get:
[tex]A= {( \frac{1}{5}) }^{2} [/tex]
Write exponent as multiplication
[tex]A= {( \frac{1}{5}) } \times \frac{1}{5} [/tex]
Multiply to get:
[tex]A= { \frac{1}{25} } {cm}^{2} [/tex]
Therefore the area is 1/25 cm²
