Mm 2 cm 2 m 2 km 2 or in 2 ft 2 yd 2 mi 2.
It is one of the easiest figures to compute an area for. It is area length width. It is always expressed in square units of the linear measurement. When the length and width of a rectangle are equal the shape is a special case of a rectangle called a square.
