Input Data :
length = 8 in
Objective :
Find what the is area of square?
Solution :
Area = side x side
= 8 x 8
Area = 64 in²
Area & Perimeter of a Square calculator uses side length of a square, and calculates the perimeter, area and diagonal length of the square. It is an online Geometry tool requires side length of a square. Using this calculator, we will understand the algorithm of how to find the the perimeter, area and diagonal length of a square.
It is necessary to follow the next steps:
A quadrilateral with four congruent angles and four congruent sides is \underline{a square} (see the picture below).
We usually solve problems regarding perimeters and areas of two-dimensional shapes. For example, to find the total area and perimeter of square garden or, to paint the walls of the room. In order to buy the corresponding amount of paint, we need to know the area of walls. Calculating area of a floor is important to determine the number of tiles needed or the size of a carpet to be fitted. Squares are very useful in architecture, construction, plumbing, engineering, landscaping, etc. Many people such architects, engineers, and many others need to calculate areas and perimeters of squares as part of their daily job.
Practice Problem 1:
A square playground has an area of $140 m^2$. Find the length of the side of the playground?
Practice Problem 2:
A square basketball court is $15$ meters long. Find the perimeter of the court?
The square calculator, formula, example calculation (work with steps), real world problems and practice problems would be very useful for grade school students (K-12 education) to understand the concept of area and perimeter of square. This concept can be of significance in geometry, to find the perimeter and area of complex figures, as well as in real life for everyday needments.
