A square has sides 6 units long. What is the area of the square? Draw the shape on a grid to help find the area.

To find the area of a square, you can use the formula: \[ \text{Area} = \text{side length} \times \text{side length} \] For a square with sides that are 6 units long, the area would be: \[ \text{Area} = 6 \times 6 = 36 \text{ square units} \] To visualize this on a grid, you can imagine a square where each side is 6 units long. Here’s a simple representation of the square on a grid: ``` (0,6) +------------------+ (6,6) | | | | | | | | (0,0) +------------------+ (6,0) ``` In this grid: - The bottom left corner of the square is at the point (0,0). - The top right corner is at the point (6,6). - Each side of the square measures 6 units. Thus, the area of the square is confirmed to be 36 square units.
