The formula for the area of a square is simply L2 (sometimes referred to as s2 ) where L (s) is the length of one side.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is LW, where L is the length and W is the width.

The formula for the area of a rectangle can be used to find the area of a square, but the formula for the area of a square cannot be used to find the area of a rectangle. This is because by definition, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares.
