Question

6 cm area = ______

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the shape and formula

The figure is a square (since all sides of a square are equal, and one side is given as 6 cm). The formula for the area of a square is \( \text{Area} = \text{side} \times \text{side} \) or \( \text{Area} = s^2 \), where \( s \) is the length of a side.

Step2: Substitute the value of the side

Given \( s = 6 \) cm, substitute into the formula: \( \text{Area} = 6 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} \)

Step3: Calculate the area

\( 6 \times 6 = 36 \), so the area is \( 36 \, \text{cm}^2 \)

Answer:

\( 36 \) square centimeters (or \( 36 \, \text{cm}^2 \))
