Area answer
Area
100.00 units²

100.00 square units of area

Perimeter / circumference40.00 units
FormulaA = s²
Shapesquare

A = 10² = 100

All four sides are equal and all angles are 90°.

Perimeter for triangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms needs additional side lengths.

Practical notes about the inputs, assumptions, and result.

Yes. Choose Triangle and enter the base and perpendicular height. The result uses one-half times base times height.

It shows perimeter or circumference when the selected dimensions define it. Triangle, trapezoid, and parallelogram perimeter needs additional side lengths.
