How many square feet does a square cover?

Answer 1

A square can be built to cover as many or as few square feet as you want it

to cover. This may be one reason that squares have the reputation of being

so useful and elegant.

If one day you should happen upon a square, and you wish to learn how many

square feet it covers, simply measure one side, express the length in feet, multiply

that number by itself, and the result is the number you seek.

If you wish to build a square that covers the number of square feet that you choose,

simply calculate the square root of that number, or ask a knowledgeable expert to

calculate it for you, and build a square whose sides all have a length equal to the

number that was calculated.
