Question

Find the area of the square whose side is $5\text{cm}$.

Answer 1

The area $A$ of the square with side $s$ is given by, $A=s\times s$.

Step 1: Here $s=5$. Substitute $5$ for $s$ into $A=s\times s$ and find the area of the square.

$\begin{array}{rcl}A& =& 5\times 5\\ & =& 25{\text{cm}}^2\end{array}$

Hence, the area of the square is $25{\text{cm}}^2$.
