Square Area Formula Explained

The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself:

Area = Side × Side
Key Concepts:

    Side Length: The length of any side of the square (all sides are equal)

  • 2

    Square Units: The result is always in square units of your chosen measurement

  • 3

    Equal Sides: All sides of a square are equal in length

Example:

A square with a side length of 5 meters has an area of 25 square meters (5 × 5).
