Multiply monomials to find the area of a square

The video tutorial explains how to find the area of a square by using the formula base times height. It introduces the concept of right angles in a square and applies the formula to a square with sides labeled CD. The tutorial also covers simplifying monomials in the context of area calculation, resulting in expressions like C^2 and D^2. The session concludes with a brief summary of the steps involved.

What is a key characteristic of a square that is important for calculating its area?

• It has no right angles.

• It has two parallel sides.

• It has four equal sides.

• It has three right angles.

Which formula is used to calculate the area of a square or rectangle?

• Base plus height

• Base times height

• Base minus height

• Base divided by height

If a square has sides labeled as CD, how would you express its area?

• CD minus CD

• CD divided by CD

• CD times CD

• CD plus CD

When simplifying the expression CD times CD, what is the result?

• C squared plus D squared

• C squared times D squared

• C times D

• C squared divided by D squared

What is the simplified form of C times C times D times D?

• C squared times D squared

• C squared plus D squared

• C times D

• C plus D
