How to Find the area of a square

Mar 5, 2010 11:45 AM
Area of a square calculation with example dimensions.

This video explains to you how to find the area of a square.

The area of a square is given by the formula

area = width x height

But since the width and height are by definition the same, the formula is usually written as

area = s x s

where s is the length of one side.

In strictly correct mathematical wording the formula above should be spoken as "s raised to the power of 2", meaning s is multiplied by itself. But we usually say it as "s squared". This wording actually comes from the square. The length of a line s multiplied by itself, creates the square of side s. Hence "s squared".

The next big software update for iPhone is coming sometime in April and will include a Food section in Apple News+, an easy-to-miss new Ambient Music app, Priority Notifications thanks to Apple Intelligence, and updates to apps like Mail, Photos, Podcasts, and Safari. See what else is coming to your iPhone with the iOS 18.4 update.
