Why Is Area Squared?


Open in App
Solution

The area is always squared because it is a two-dimensional measurement between length and height. Therefore, the area is always expressed as square units.

Let us consider land with lengths and breadth be a units and b units respectively.

Area of the land =Length×Breadth

Area of the land =a×b

Area of the land =ab square units.
