Question

find the area of the square.
a = ? cm² 7 cm
a = l × w
7 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Identify length and width

For a square, length (\(l\)) and width (\(w\)) are equal. Here, \(l = 7\) cm and \(w = 7\) cm.

Step2: Apply area formula

The formula for the area of a rectangle (and square, since a square is a special rectangle) is \(A = l\times w\). Substitute \(l = 7\) and \(w = 7\): \(A = 7\times7 = 49\).

Answer:

49
