How do you find a area of a square?

The area of a square is length times width:

Area = length x width

^^^This is the same for a rectangle too

The only difference is that the length of all the sides of a square are equal to each other, so to find the area of a square you are essentially multiplying on side with it self

Look at the example below

Hope this helped!!!

Answer:

To find the area of a rectangle multiply its height by its width. For a square you only need to find the length of one of the sides (as each side is the same length) and then multiply this by itself to find the area.
