Calculate the Area of a Square with Side Length 25 Units

Question

Look at the square below:

What is the area of the square?

00:03 Let's find the area of the square.

00:06 First, let's look at the length of one side given in the problem.

00:11 Now, we'll use the formula: side times side, to find the area.

00:16 We'll substitute the side length into the formula and calculate the area.

00:21 Great job! That's how we solve this problem.

The area of the square is equal to the side of the square raised to the second power.

That is:

$A=L^2$

Since the drawing gives us one side of the square, and in a square all sides are equal, we will solve the area of the square as follows:

$A=25^2=625$

$625$
