Now that you see how area is measured in smaller square units, let’s look
at the formulas used to calculate area in different polygons.
A square equals 1 foot by 1 foot
The area of rectangle ABCD equals 10 squares by 7 squares,
or 70 square feet
Squares
Since the length and width in squares are the same size, it is typical to refer
to both of these dimensions as s. The formula for the area of a square is the
length of one of its sides times itself.
Area of a Square= (side) ×(side), or A= s^2
