what is the area of a square with a side of 49 ft

Area for a square is Side x Side or in this case 49x49. Remember that when you give an area answer you must show the answer in units squared

a square is a rectangle where every side is the same. the area of a rectangle is length times width

length here is 49 and the side is 49

so the area is 49*49.  49*49=2401  so the area is 2401 ft^2

Does that make sense? please feel free to comment
