Area of Square

Q1

What is the area of a square?

As we know, a square is a two-dimensional figure with four sides. It is also known as a quadrilateral. The area of a square is defined as the total number of unit squares in the shape of a square. In other words, it is defined as the space occupied by the square.

Q2

Why is the area of a square a side square?

A square is a 2D figure in which all the sides are of equal measure. Since all the sides are equal, the area would be length times width, which is equal to side × side. Hence, the area of a square is side square.

Q3

What is the area of a square formula?

The area of a square can be calculated using the formula side × side square units.

Q4

How to find the area of a square if a diagonal is given?

If the diagonal of a square is given, then the formula to calculate the area of a square is:
A = (½) × d² square units.
Where “d” is the diagonal

Q5

What is the perimeter and the area of a square?

The perimeter of the square is the sum of all the four sides of a square, whereas the area of a square is defined as the region or the space occupied by a square in the two-dimensional space.

Q6

What is the area of a square if its side length is 10 cm?

Given: Side = 10 cm
We know that, Area of a square = Side × Side square units
Thus, Area = 10 × 10 = 100 cm²
Therefore, the area of a square is 100 cm² if its side length is 10 cm.

Q7

What is the unit for an area of square?

The area of a square is measured in square units.

Q8

How to calculate the area of a square if its perimeter is given?

Follow the below steps to find the area of a square if its perimeter is given:
Step 1: Find the side length of a square using the perimeter formula, P = 4 × Side
Step 2: Substitute the side length in the area formula: A = Side × Side
