Best Answer

To find the two-dimensional area of a square, you must multiply two one-dimensional measurements together (say "length" times "width").

So, for instance, if you have a square that is one foot (length) by one foot (width), multiply those two measurements together: 1 foot * 1 foot = 1 square foot, because one times one is one.

If you want to measure that same area in inches, you need to convert the one-dimensional measurements from feet to inches before you multiply them. Since 1 foot = 12 inches, the square I mentioned above is 12 inches * 12 inches = 144 square inches, because twelve times twelve is one hundred forty four.
