Answer:

36 × 10^6 m²

Explanation:

Given the side length of a square = 6 × 10³m,

To solve for the area of a square, use the following formula:

A = S² where:

S = side of the square

Substitute the given value for the side into the formula:

A = S²

A = (6 × 10³)²

A = 36000000 or 36 × 10^6 m²

NOTE:

6 × 10³ is also the same as 6 × 1000 = 6000,

(6 × 10³)² is essentially 6,000² = 36,000,000

Therefore, its area in square meters is 36 × 10^6
