Answer:
For a rectangle, you get the length and width and multiply them
For a Square, you have to find one side length and mulitply it by itself
or you can split the square with a diagonal into 2 triangles, get the area of each and add them up
or split the square in half and find the area of both rectangles and then add them together
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, if the measure of one side of a square is 5, because all the other lengths are the same, you do 5 times 5 which equals 25 or 5^2 which is 25
