Hello!

The area of a square can be found using the following formula:

area = (length) x (width)

We know that all sides of the given square are 8 inches in length. Therefore, the length and width must both be 8 inches. Insert any known values into the equation above:

area = (8 in) x (8 in)

Simplify the right side:

area = 64 square inches

We have now proven the area of the square to equal 64 square inches.

I hope this helps!
