To find the area of a square when you know the length of one side, you can use the formula:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = \text{side length}^2 \][/tex]
Given that the side length of the square is 5 units, follow these steps to find the area:
1. Identify the length of one side of the square. In this case, the side length is 5 units.
2. Square the side length. This means you multiply the side length by itself.
So, you would calculate:
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 5 \times 5 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Area} = 25 \text{ square units} \][/tex]
Thus, the area of the square is 25 square units.
