Question

Which expression could be used to determine the area of the square?

Answer 1

s²

Explanation:

The area of a square would be the length of one side times the length of the adjacent side, but since all of the side lengths for a square are the same, the area of a square would be the length of one side squared.

s = the length of one side of the square

s²

Answer 2

The expression used to determine the area of the square is
`l^2`, where
`l` is the side length of the square.

This equation serves as the basis for the definition of area.
