Calculate the Area of a Square with Side Length 14: Geometric Measurement

Question

Look at the square below:

What is the area of the square equivalent to?

00:00 Find the area of the square

00:03 Square side length according to the given data

00:07 Use the formula for calculating square area (side squared)

00:11 Substitute appropriate values and solve to find the area

00:18 And this is the solution to the 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:

$A=14^2=196$

$196$
