Question

The length and width of the park are measured in linear units: inches, miles, meters, etc. The area is measured in square units. Explain the reason for using square units for area of the park.

Answer 1

 In the area formula, there are two dimensions that are multiplied, base and height. So, the units are also multiplied. Inches times inches is inches squared. Also, area is a measurement that counts how many squares fit inside of a shape, so it makes sense that the units are described as squared.

Good luck Hope that helps

Answer 2

The area of the park is measured in square units because the area is the product of two dimensions.

Area

The area for the park is the multiplication of two-dimension so it is measured in square units. Inches, miles, meters, etc are linear units to measure the length and width of the park.

For the park, the area can be written as length $\times$ width.

Let us consider the units of length and width is meter. Then, the area of the park is,

$Area = Length (\rm meters) \times Width (\rm meters)$

$Area = Length \times Width\; (\rm meter^2)$.

Similarly, if the unit of length and width is miles, then the area will be measured in square miles. And if the unit of length and width is inches, then the area will be measured in square inches.

Hence the area of the park is measured in square units.
