If the perimeter of a square is 18 cm, what must the area of this square be?
If the perimeter of a square is 18 cm, what must the area of this square be?
Remember that a square has four sides, each side with equal lengths. If a square has a perimeter of 18 cm, that means that each side has a length of
18 ÷ 4 =
4.5 cm.
The formula for the area of a square is length x width or length squared (length x length), since each side of a square has the same length.
So,
4.5 x 4.5 =
20.25cm2

What is the area of a square that has a side with a length of 9 cm?
What is the area of a square that has a side with a length of 9 cm?
The area of a square can be found using the same equation as the area of a rectangle - length times width.
However, in the case of a square, all of the sides are of equal length. Therefore, the area of a square can be found using the equation:
or

What is the area of a square that has a side with a length of 10 in.?
What is the area of a square that has a side with a length of 10 in.?
To calculate the area of a square, you need to multiply the length by the width. By definition, a square has 4 equal sides. So, by knowing the length of one side of the square, you know the length measurement and the width measurement.
Since the length of one side of this square is 10 in., you would multiply 
to get the answer.
Because area is the number of squares that would be used to cover the inside the shape, it is given in units2. As a result, the answer is 100 in.2.

Becca takes a square napkin and folds it in half once. She then folds it in half again. When she unfolds it, the creases create lines. What best describes the pattern created by the creases?
Becca takes a square napkin and folds it in half once. She then folds it in half again. When she unfolds it, the creases create lines. What best describes the pattern created by the creases?
When a napkin is folded in half once, a crease is created vertically down the middle of the napkin. When folded in half once again, another crease is created horizontally across the middle. This creates four squares. Therefore, the best answer is "4 squares."

The perimeter of a square is 44 inches. What is the area?
The perimeter of a square is 44 inches. What is the area?
In a square, all four sides are equal, and the area is calculated by multiplying one side by itself.
To find the length of one side, we divide the perimeter by 4 (since there are 4 sides of the square).
We know the perimeter, allowing us to solve for the side.
This gives us 11, so we know that each side is 11 inches long. Now we can find the area.
The area, 11 inches times 11 inches, is 121 square inches, the correct answer.
