All squares are rectangles (though the condition is not true vice-versa).

Consider a square of side 'a' units and a rectangle of length 'l' units and breadth 'b' units.

The area of the rectangle is given by lxb.

Now, since all rectangles are squares, we can apply the same formula for the square.

Therefore, area of the square = lxb.

But, 'l' and 'b' is the same as 'a'.

This implies, area of the square = axa = a^2 (a square).

Is 32 meters equal to 1024 square meters?

Metres are a measure of length; square metres are a measure of area. Because of this you can't say that a certain number of metres is equal to a certain number of square metres. You may have been trying to ask if a square which has sides 32 m long has an area of 1024 m2, in which case the answer is yes.


How do you find perimeter of a square with area of 324?

Say one of the sides is s. Because it is a square, both the length and width (both sides) are s. Area = length x width So 324 = s x s, or 324 = s2. So s is equal to the square root of 324. Because perimeter is the sum of the sides, add s + s + s + s.

Definition for irregular quadrilateral?

Answer: A regular quadrilateral is one with equal sides and equal angles, so it is a square. To negate this definition, we say an irregular quadrilateral is one where the sides are unequal or the angles are unequal OR BOTH. In simpler terms, we could say it is a quadrilateral which is not a square.
