1. **State the problem:** Calculate the value of $\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2$.
2. **Formula used:** When squaring a fraction, square the numerator and the denominator separately: $$\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^2 = \frac{a^2}{b^2}$$
3. **Apply the formula:**
$$\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{(\sqrt{3})^2}{2^2}$$
4. **Simplify numerator and denominator:**
$$\frac{\cancel{(\sqrt{3})^2}}{\cancel{2^2}} = \frac{3}{4}$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{3}{4}$$
This means the square of $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$ is $\frac{3}{4}$.
