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.

To find the square footage of a square, you simply multiply the length of one side by itself. This is done using the formula: area = side length x side length.

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.
