Square Area Calculator

Reviewed by CalcMulti Editorial Team·Last updated: ·Geometry Hub

The area of a square is the side length squared: A = s². Because all four sides of a square are equal, you only need one measurement. The perimeter is four times the side: P = 4s. The diagonal — the line connecting opposite corners — equals s√2.

You can also work backwards: given the area, the side length is s = √A. This calculator accepts side length or area and returns all related measurements with step-by-step working.

Formula

A = s²

A
area of the square (square units)
s
side length of the square
