Identifying Squared Measurements

Identifying Squared Measurements

By Massimo Lamari

What are squared measurements?

Squared measurements are calculated ​by multiplying a number by itself. E.g 3 squared = 3 x 3 (9).

​

When we use this, we can apply it to measurement units. An example being 5cm x 5cm = 25cm squared

​

Some text here about the topic of discussion

Multiple Choice

What is 4cm Squared?

• 8cm Squared

• 10cm Squared

• 16cm Squared

Multiple Choice

What is 7mm Squared?

• 38mm squared

• 49cm squared

• 52mm squared

• 49mm squared

​When we add Squared values together, we must first find their individual values before adding them together.

​

Example: 3mm squared​ + 4mm squared.

​

3mm squared = 9mm

4mm squared = 16mm

9mm +16mm = 25mm

​

3mm squared + 4mm squared = 25​mm

Multiple Choice

What is 2cm squared + 3cm squared?

• 10cm squared

• 13cm squared

• 5cm squared

Multiple Choice

What is 4mm squared + 5mm squared?

• 20mm squared

• 9cm squared

• 41mm squared

• 39mm squared

​If we our knowledge of squared measurements, we can find area.

​

When looking for area, we need to remember the ​formula: Length x Width = Area squared

​​

For example, the ​because the length and width of this shape is the same, the formula would look like this.

​

5 x 5 = 25 squared​

We can use squared measurements to find area

Multiple Choice

Using the formula Length x Width, what is the area of this Rectangle?

• 36cm squared

• 13cm squared

• 26cm squared
