The square measure of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the number of units in the length by the number of units in the width.

As a square is a type of rectangle, one multiples the length of the side by itself..... so that a square with a side of 5 feet measures 5 x 5 = 25 square feet, and a square with sides of 13 feet measures 169 square feet.

By measuring the sides of the square. Say you have a square that is 48" by 48". If you take the 48 and divide that by 12 you get 4. 4 is how many feet one side is. Being it's a square then all sides will be equal in length. So you have a square that is 4 ft bu 4ft. 4 X 4 = 16.

You get the area by using formulas. There is usually a specific formula to find the area of each shape. Some irregular shaps may not have a formula.

To find the price of a square inch out of a 2 foot by 30 foot roll of vinyl at the cost of 30?

A roll 2 foot by 30 foot contains 60 square feet. There are 144 square inches in a square foot. So the roll contains 8630 square inches = and you get all of these for 30 units of currency. I will assume that the unit of currency contains 100 smaller units. so the price is 3000 small units. This means that the cost per sq inch = 3000/8630 = 0.347 small units = just slightly more than one-third of the small unit.
