### Example Question #71 : Squares

If the perimeter of a square is 18 cm, what must the area of this square be?

20.25cm2

81cm2

16cm2

25cm2

18cm2

20.25cm2

Explanation:

Remember that a square has four sides, each side with equal lengths. If a square has a perimeter of 18 cm, that means that each side has a length of

18 ÷ 4 =

4.5 cm.

The formula for the area of a square is length x width or length squared (length x length), since each side of a square has the same length.

So,

4.5 x 4.5 =

20.25cm2

### Example Question #1151 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Mathematics Achievement

What is the area of a square that has a side with a length of 9 cm?

63

18

36

81

81

Explanation:

The area of a square can be found using the same equation as the area of a rectangle - length times width.

However, in the case of a square, all of the sides are of equal length. Therefore, the area of a square can be found using the equation:

or

### Example Question #3 : How To Find The Area Of A Square

What is the area of a square that has a side with a length of 10 in.?

Explanation:

To calculate the area of a square, you need to multiply the length by the width. By definition, a square has 4 equal sides. So, by knowing the length of one side of the square, you know the length measurement and the width measurement.

Since the length of one side of this square is 10 in., you would multiply to get the answer.

Because area is the number of squares that would be used to cover the inside the shape, it is given in units2. As a result, the answer is 100 in.2.

### Example Question #72 : Squares

Becca takes a square napkin and folds it in half once. She then folds it in half again. When she unfolds it, the creases create lines. What best describes the pattern created by the creases?

4 rectangles

4 squares

2 squares

2 rectangles

4 squares

Explanation:

When a napkin is folded in half once, a crease is created vertically down the middle of the napkin. When folded in half once again, another crease is created horizontally across the middle. This creates four squares. Therefore, the best answer is "4 squares."
