We want to find the area of a square. Let's see the figure!
To find the area of the square, we will use the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle.
A=l * w
Since a square is a rectangle whose length l and width w are equal, we can adapt the formula for a square with side length s.
A=l * w ⇒ A=s^2
We have been given that the side length s is 5 inches. Let's substitute this value into the formula to calculate A.
