What is the area of the square?

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the square's area
00:03 Square side length according to the given data
00:07 Use the formula to calculate square area (side squared)
00:12 Substitute appropriate values and solve to find the area
00:24 And this is the solution to the problem

Step-by-Step Solution

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

That is:

A=L2 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=92=81 A=9^2=81

Answer

81 81
