Given:
The top of the lid to a small container is in the shape of a square with a side length of 6 centimeters.
We need to determine the area of the top of the lid.
Area of the top of the lid:
The area of the top of the lid can be determined using the formula,
[tex]A=s^2[/tex]
where s is the side length of the square
Substituting [tex]s=6[/tex] in the above formula, we get;
[tex]A=6^2[/tex]
[tex]A=36[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the top of the lid is 36 cm²
Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
