Area of a Square
-4 right angles; -Diagonals bisect each other and are congruent; -Opposite sides are equal
The area of a square is the amount of space enclosed by the square, measured in square units. To calculate the area of a square, we need to multiply the length of one of its sides by itself. In formula form, this can be written as:
Area of a square = Side x Side
or
A = s^2
where A is the area of the square and s is the length of one of its sides.
For example, if a square has a side length of 8 centimeters, its area can be calculated as:
A = s^2 = 8 cm x 8 cm = 64 cm^2
Therefore, the area of this square is 64 square centimeters.
