Just like any rectangle, the area is length x width. In the special case of a square, since both are the same, you can calculate length x length, or length squared.

There are many methods to do this. One is to calculate the are of the enitire figure. Then figure out the area of the smaller area. Then divide the smaller figure's area by the larger figure's area and change the answer to a percent. For example, if you were asked to figure out what percent of square A with sides measuring 5 cm was covered by square B (which is completely inside of square A) with sides of 1 cm. 1. Calculate the are of square A. 25 cm2 2. Calculate the are of square B. 1 cm2 3. Divide square B by square A. 1/25 or 0.04 4. Convert to a percent. 4%
170m is a length. A square foot is an area. You cannot calculate how many lengths are in an area.
Area in square units = base*height
Calculate the total area of the square and subtract the non-shaded portion if you can figure that area. Your question is missing information.
There is no universal formula to calculate area - it depends on the shape in question. 1 square inch = 1 inch * 1 inch = 1/12 foot * 1/12 foot = 1/12 * 1/12 square feet = 1/144 square feet. So to convert an area given in square inches to square feet, divide by 144.
