Find the area of a square with a side of 7 feet.

Solution:

The area of a square is defined as the number of square units needed to fill this shape.

 In other words, when we want to find the area of a square, we consider the length of its side.

Since all the sides of the shape are equal, its area is the product of its two sides.

If the side of the square is s then area of the square is given by

A = s × s = s²

s = 7 feet

A = 7 × 7 = 49 square feet

Find the area of a square with a side of 7 feet.

Summary:

The area of a square with a side of 7 feet is 49 square feet.
