Area of square

Last updated at July 20, 2026 by

We had found area of square by counting squares.

But, that method is too long

 

To find area of any figure,

We use formula

 

For a square with side a

Area of square = a × a

         =  a 2

 

Lets take a few examples

 

Find area of square with side 5 cm

Area of square - Part 2

 

Side of square = a = 5 cm

 

Area of square = a × a

 = 5 × 5

 = 25 square cm

 = 25 cm 2

 

Find area of square with side 2 m

Area of square - Part 3

Side of square = a = 2 m

 

Area of square = a × a

 = 2 × 2

 = 4 square m

 = 4 m 2
