Square area

Square 2d (dimensional) figure with 4 straight sides, whose 4 interior angles are equal (90°), and whose 4 sides are of equal length.

If the sides of a square have length s, the perimeter of the square is simply 4 times the length of a side, represented algebraically by the formula P = 4s. The area of a square is determined by multiplying the length of a side by itself: A = s2.

Square, his area and perimeterA square is a special case of few broader types of four-sided figures: quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rhombuses, and rectangles. All squares are rectangles, for example, but not all rectangles are squares because many rectangles have pairs of sides that are not the same length.

Area is measured in "square" units. The area of a figure is the number of squares required to cover it completely, like tiles on a floor.

Area of a square = side times side. Since each side of a square is the same, it could simply be the length of 1 side squared.

In words, the square surface area of a Square is the area of the 1 square that cover it. The area of one of them is a*a, or a 2 .
