Square Area
In order to draw the square area formula, the following structure needs to be explored.
Analysis 1
Move the bar and look as the rectangle is filled. How many small squares can fit in the side L of the square?
Analysis 2
Change the measure of side (L) to 6. Move the bar and look as the rectangle is filled. How many little squares can fit in the side L of the square?
Analysis 3
What is the relationship between the number of squares (n) that fit in the square with the measure L on the side of the square?
Analysis 4
In theory, the number of squares that fit in the square can be considered as the area of the square. Thus, write an equation that represents the area of a square of side L.
