To find the area of a square, remember that a square is a type of rectangle so we can use the following formula to find its area.
Area = length × width
However, since the length and width of a square are always equal, we use a special version of this formula to find the area of a square.
Instead of area = length × width, we say that the area of a square is equal to side × side or s².
I'll show an example.
