Question

area of a square
ahmad and chris are still trying to find new ways to
represent patterns. ahmad is curious about the
pattern between a squares side length and its area.
help ahmad complete the table that compares a
squares side length to its area.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a square

The area \(A\) of a square is given by \(A = s^{2}\), where \(s\) is the side - length of the square.

Step2: Calculate the area for each side - length

• When \(s = 1\), \(A=1^{2}=1\)
• When \(s = 2\), \(A = 2^{2}=4\)
• When \(s = 3\), \(A=3^{2}=9\)
• When \(s = 4\), \(A = 4^{2}=16\)
• When \(s = 5\), \(A=5^{2}=25\)
• When \(s = 6\), \(A = 6^{2}=36\)

Answer:

Side Length	Area
2	4
3	9
4	16
5	25
6	36
