The area of a square is given by the formulaarea = width × height
But since the width and height are by definition the same, the formula is usually written asarea = s2
where 's' is the length of one side.
In strictly correct mathematical wording the formula above should be spoken as "s raised to the power of 2", meaning s is multiplied by itself. But we usually say it as "s squared". This wording actually comes from the square. The length of a line s multiplied by itself, creates the square of side s. Hence "s squared".
