Area of a Square

Area: Learn


For a square, simply multiply the side length (or base length) times itself to find the area.

For example, a square with a side length of 4 centimeters has an area of 4*4 = 16 square centimeters.

The diagram below shows how we could count out the 16 square centimeters.


A square is a very special type of rectangle, so the rectangle formula for area is very similar. Where a rectangle has two different side lengths to multiply together, the sides of a square are all the same.
