When calculating area we multiply length and width ( in the instance of a square ). If we had an area 5 in long and 5 in wide the area is 25 in^2 because we also multiply the unit. If we had a box 5 in long, 5 in wide and 5 in tall we would have a box with a volume of 125 in^3 ( cubic inches). Again we also multiply the units.

What is the area of a square with a radius of 6?

A radius is used to measure a circle; squares do not have a radius, they would be measured by a side. If a square has a side that measures 6 inches, then it's area is 36 square inches. Note that without a unit of measurement (inches, or whatever it is) you do not have a meaningful answer.

How many 10x10 inch squares in a yard of fabric?

A yard of fabric measures 36 inches by 44 inches. To find out how many 10x10 inch squares can fit in this area, calculate the total area of the yard (36 inches x 44 inches = 1584 square inches) and the area of one square (10 inches x 10 inches = 100 square inches). Dividing the total area by the area of one square gives you 15.84, meaning you can fit 15 full 10x10 inch squares in a yard of fabric, with some leftover material.


How many 2.5 x 2.5 inch squares in 9 x 13 pan?

To determine how many 2.5 x 2.5 inch squares fit in a 9 x 13 inch pan, first calculate the area of both. The area of the pan is 9 inches x 13 inches = 117 square inches. The area of one square is 2.5 inches x 2.5 inches = 6.25 square inches. Dividing the area of the pan by the area of one square gives 117 / 6.25 = 18.72. Since you can only fit whole squares, you can fit 18 squares in the pan.


Why is perimeter measured in units and area measured in sq units?
