Answer:

Finding Area Of Shapes

Explanation:

The formula for solving for area of a square is A= S x S which basically means Area = Side multiplied by side, S is the length of each side of the square. With squares, it's much easier to find the length because it's all going to be the same on each side so you multiply the number by its self to get your answer.

Example :

8 x 8 = 64

So the area of the square would be 64 if each side were 8 because you're going to multiply using 2 sides and multiply that number by itself.

Hope this helps let me know if you need any other help!

Answer:

you find the area of a square by multiplying the side length by the side length. For example, the side length of a square is 10, then the area of the square would be 10 * 10= 100, the area would have been 100. A=l*l

I dont know what other shapes do you need so i would tell you how to find the area of a triangle. you find it by multiplying the base and the height and times it by 1/2. A=1/2*b*h
