Word problems on area of a square:

1. Find the area of a square of side 27 cm.

Area of a square = length × length

                         = 27 × 27 sq. cm.

                         = 729 sq. cm.

2. Find the area of a square of side 35 m.

Area of a square = length × length

                        = 35 × 35 sq. m.

                        = 1225 sq. m.

3. The length of the side of a square is 25 cm. Find the area.

Length of the side of a square = 25 cm

Are of the square                   = Side × Side

4. Length of a side of a square field is 275 m. What will be cost of levelling the field at a rate of 10 cent per square metre?

Length of the square field = 275 m

Are of the square field = side × side

                              = 275 m × 275 m

                              = 75625 m²

Cost of levelling the field = 75625 × 10 cent

                                    = 756250 cent

                                    = $ 7562.50
