What is the proof to Prove that area of a square is length breadth?

The unit of area "one square meter" or "one square foot" is DEFINED as the area of a square with sides of length 1 meter or 1 foot. This works for any unit of distance measurement. So we start with this definition. It follows that a square with sides of length n when n is an integer has area n2 square units because it can be divided into n*n= n2 small squares one unit on a side. For the area of a square with sides of fractional length, we can use a proof that calls upon similar polygons. This proves the area exists, it does NOT prove it is unique. To prove that, assume it is not uniqe and arrive at a contradiction.

To find the price of a square inch out of a 2 foot by 30 foot roll of vinyl, first calculate the total area of the roll by multiplying the length and width: 2 feet * 30 feet = 60 square feet. Since there are 144 square inches in a square foot, the total square inches in the roll is 60 square feet * 144 square inches/square foot = 8,640 square inches.
