Answer:
It means the area of the square is 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of a square you must multiply the length by the width (A=LxW)
to find area of square you would have to multiply squareroot of 17 by squareroot of 17 (because all 4 sides of a square are equal to each other). That would equal squareroot of 289. When you simplify that further, the answer would be 17.
