Area of Squares & Rectangles

Front

What is the area of a square?

Back

The area of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by itself. Formula: Area = side × side.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?

Back

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. Formula: Area = length × width.

Front

If the area of a rectangle is 20 square meters and its width is 4 meters, what is its length?

Back

5 meters (since Area = length × width, so length = Area ÷ width = 20 sq m ÷ 4 m = 5 m).

Front

What is the relationship between the area and the sides of a square?

Back

The area increases as the length of the sides increases. Doubling the side length quadruples the area.
