Measure the Area of a Square: A math worksheet for students to calculate the area of four squares with given side lengths.

Let's solve the problem step by step.

Task:

Measure the area of each square.
We are given the side lengths of four squares, and we need to calculate their areas.

Formula for the Area of a Square:

$$
\text{Area} = \text{side} \times \text{side} = s^2
$$

---

Square 1:

- Side length = 1.5 cm
- Area = $ 1.5 \times 1.5 = 2.25 \, \text{cm}^2 $

---

Square 2:

- Side length = 5.0 cm
- Area = $ 5.0 \times 5.0 = 25.0 \, \text{cm}^2 $

---

Square 3:

- Side length = 6.5 cm
- Area = $ 6.5 \times 6.5 = 42.25 \, \text{cm}^2 $

---

Square 4:

- Side length = 4.8 cm
- Area = $ 4.8 \times 4.8 = 23.04 \, \text{cm}^2 $

---

✔ Final Answers:

1. 1.5 cm → Area = 2.25 cm²
2. 5.0 cm → Area = 25.0 cm²
3. 6.5 cm → Area = 42.25 cm²
4. 4.8 cm → Area = 23.04 cm²

💡 Explanation:

The area of a square is found by squaring the length of one side. Since all sides of a square are equal, multiplying the side by itself gives the total space inside the square (in square centimeters, in this case).
