Question

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
