The usual way of measuring area is to find the number of squares a shape covers

Here we have a square measuring 1 cm by 1 cm
We say the square has an area of 1 2cm

Here we have a square measuring 2 cm by 2 cmIf we place it on some centimetre squared paper we can see it covers 4 squares
We say the square has an area of 4 2cm
