The area of a square is the "length x width" but as these are equal we can put that the area = L2.....where L is the side length of the square.
If the value of the area is known then the square root of this figure provides the side length.
Example : Area = 36 sq cm, Length L = √36 = 6 cm.

How do you find the volume of cube only knowing its surface area?
Divide the surface area by six. That will give you the area of one face, which will be a perfect square. The square root of that number will give you the length of a side. The cube of the side will be the volume.
What is the area of a 50cm square?
Ah, what a happy little question! To find the area of a square, you simply multiply the length of one side by itself. So, for a 50cm square, you would calculate 50cm x 50cm to find the area, which is 2500 square centimeters. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy little accidents in math!
How much is a square mile compared to a mile?
A square mile is a unit of area. If we have a square with each side one mile long, the square covers one square mile. A mile is a unit of length. Length has only one dimension while area is two dimensions.
How can you find the area of a parallelogram if you only know the side lengths?
The area of a parallelogram is equal to base times height. You can find the maximum area of a parallelogram by multiplying the length of a short side by the length of a long side. (This would be the area if the parallelogram were a rectangle.)You cannot know the area of a parallelogram if all you know is the length of the sides; you can only know the maximumpossible area. Imagine you slant the parallelogram a lot. The area will decrease, but the side lengths will stay the same.
How do you find the perimeter of a shape with only the area?
If it's a circle or a square, no problem, but a rectangle can have different length & width but the same area eg 4 x 6, 3 x 8 or 2 x 12 which have respective perimeters of 20, 22 and 28.
