Question

A square has a side length of 12 mm. Find the area of the square.

Answer 1

24 mm

Explanation:

Area of a square is base times height, and a square has the exact same lengths on all sides, so 12 mm x 12 mm = 24 mm

Answer 2

For this case we have that by definition, the area of a square is given by:

`A = l ^ 2`

Where "l" represents the side of the square.

In this case we have to:

`l = 12mm`

So, the area is given by:

`A = (12mm) ^ 2\\A = 144mm ^ 2`

Thus, the area of a square whose side is 12mm, is given by:
`144mm ^ 2`

Answer:

`A = 144mm ^ 2`
