Question

What is the area of a square​

Answer 1

`a^(2)` =
`cm^(2)`

Explanation:

(length of sqaure) x (width of square) =
`cm^(2)`

since the length and width are the same for a square we can use the same letter for both length and width. If we chose 'a' to represent length and width then the formula can be rewritten:

(length of sqaure) x (width of square) =
`cm^(2)`

l x w =
`cm^(2)`

l = w = a

a x a =
`cm^(2)`


`a^(2)` =
`cm^(2)`

Answer 2

The area of a square is one of the sides squared s^2
