Area is measured in square units because it quantifies the two-dimensional space occupied by a surface. When calculating area, we multiply length by width, resulting in a measure that reflects how many unit squares can fit within that space. This concept helps provide a clear and consistent way to express and compare sizes of different surfaces. For example, 1 square meter represents a square that is 1 meter on each side, making it easy to visualize and understand.

If the area of a square is 35 square units the perimeter is: 23.66 units.
A square with an area 90,000 square units has a perimeter of: 1,200 units.
You use units of area, such as square meters, square millimeters, square kilometers, etc.
For the same reason that you use square units for the surface area of a sphere even though it's not a cube.
A square with a side length of 20 units has an area of 400 square units.
The side length of a square with an area of 2 square units is: 1.414 units.
