Example Question #46 : How To Find The Area Of A Square
Find the area of a square with a width of 7cm.
To find the area of a square, we will use the following formula:
where l is the length and w is the width of the square.
Now, we know the width of the square is 7cm. Because it is a square, all sides are equal. Therefore, the length is also 7cm. So, we get
