the figure shown here is a square with
sides that each have a length of 20
centimeters to find its area notice that
a square is a type of rectangle so we
can use the formula area equals length
times width however since the length and
width of a square are always equal we
use a special version of this formula to
find the area of a square instead of
area equals length times width we say
that the area of a square equals side
times side or side squared and since the
sides of the given square each have a
length of 20 centimeters the area of the
square is equal to 20 centimeters
squared or 20 centimeters times 20
centimeters which equals 400 centimeters
squared so the area of the given square
is 400 square centimeters
