I wonder area is the total space inside a two-dimensional shape in order to measure how big the area of a shape is we use squares we call this unit of measurement square centimeters. And this is written as centimeters squared when measuring areas, you must imagine that your shape is made up of smaller unit squares the amount of unit squares counted in your shape will give you the area of the shape. For example, let’s say there were 15 unit squares inside your 2D shape. This means that the area of your 2D shape is 15 centimeters squared when we do not have squares to count.
We must calculate the area another way. There are different ways to measure area for different shapes. The area of a rectangle is measured by multiplying the length by width if the length of a rectangle is four centimeters, and the width is Two centimeters then the area of the rectangle will be 8 centimeters squared because 4 times 2 is equal to 8 to get the area of a square. You must multiply two sides of the square together. If all the sides of a square are five centimeters, then the area of the square will be 25 centimeters squared because 5 times 5 is 25
