The area of one square with sides measuring 1cm by 1cm is 1 square centimeter. Since there are 4 squares of the same size, the total area of all 4 squares would be 4 square centimeters. This can be calculated by multiplying the area of one square by the number of squares.

Oh, dude, it's like you're throwing me back to math class! So, if you have 4 squares, each with sides of 1cm, you just gotta calculate each square's area (1cm x 1cm = 1cm²) and then add them up (4 squares x 1cm² = 4cm²). Boom, there you have it, the total area of those squares is 4 square centimeters.
Well, honey, if you've got 4 squares, each measuring 1cm by 1cm, then the area of one square is 1 square centimeter. Multiply that by 4, and you've got yourself a grand total of 4 square centimeters. Math doesn't get much simpler than that, darling.
Each square has an area of 1 cm square, for 4 squares altogether area is 4 cm square.
Or we can say we have a big square 2cm by 2cm, whose area is 4 cm square.

Use squares and try it out for yourself. Get a number of squares and make a rectangle 3 squares long by 4 squares wide. Count the squares. You should have 12 squares (or 3*4). That's the best way I know to prove the formula.
In a 4 by 3 grid, there are a total of 20 squares. To calculate this, you can start by counting the individual squares of each size within the grid. There are 12 one-by-one squares, 6 two-by-two squares, and 2 three-by-three squares. Adding these together gives a total of 20 squares in a 4 by 3 grid.
You would need two 3 cm squares and two 2 cm squares to get a total area of 35 sq cm. A 3 cm square has an area of 9 sq cm and a 2 cm square has an area of 4 sq cm.
Because the 2cm lens has 4 times the area of a 1cm lens. (area = Pi*r2)
