Do you know the formula for finding the area of a square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am in 4th grade

OpenStudy (phi):

ok, but do you know the formula for finding the area of a square ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LxW

OpenStudy (phi):

ok, and for a square the length and width are the same number (all 4 sides are equal, so L and W are both the same)

OpenStudy (phi):

I would do S*S (where S is the length of a side )

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh so times the number 4 imes and see if it equals 36

OpenStudy (phi):

side times itself If they tell you a side is 6 cm then you know that both the L is 6 cm and the W is 6 cm do L*W 6cm * 6 cm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 6cm right

OpenStudy (phi):

the number part of 6 cm * 6 cm is 6*6 = 36 the "units" cm * cm is writen \( cm^2 \) which means centimeters squared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 6cm

OpenStudy (phi):

Yes, choice A gives the correct area
