Find the area of a square from a single side length. Because all four sides are equal, the area is simply the side multiplied by itself, so a square with a side of 8 has an area of 64 square units. This calculator also gives you the perimeter, which is four times the side, and the diagonal, which is the side multiplied by the square root of two. Squares appear everywhere from floor tiles and chessboards to garden plots and photo prints, so a quick area answer saves time on shopping and layout. Enter the side in any unit you like and the area returns in that unit squared, meaning feet give square feet. All arithmetic runs entirely in your browser at full precision with no data leaving your device, and the copy button lets you grab the area value for a spreadsheet or message in one click.
