Math Problem Statement
Ahmad is curious about the pattern between a square's side length and its area. Help Ahmad complete the table that compares a square's side length to its area.
Solution
To solve the problem, we need to complete the table comparing the square's side length to its area. For a square, the area is calculated as:
Let's compute the areas for the given side lengths:

Here are 5 related questions for deeper exploration:
- How is the area of other shapes (e.g., rectangle, triangle) calculated?
- What happens to the area if the side length of a square doubles?
- Can you graph the relationship between side length and area? What does it look like?
- What is the general formula for the perimeter of a square, and how does it compare to the area formula?
- How do we calculate the diagonal of a square given its side length?
Tip: Remember, when the side length of a square increases linearly, its area increases quadratically!
