Question

What is the area of a square​

Answer 1

Answer:

$a^{2}$ = $cm^{2}$

Step-by-step 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
