area of square

[lizaww]

How do you write a C++ program that computes the area of a square (area=x*x)

[lizaww]

this is how i found the area of a circle
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
float area ,pi, radius;
pi= 3.14;
cout << "Which is the radius of the circle? " << "\n";
cin >> radius;
area= pi*(radius*radius);
cout << "The circle has an area of " << area << "\n";
system ("Pause");

Replace the line "area=.." with the correct formula for the area of a square.

Just don't multiply by pi (or any other rude approximation thereof), call your
circle a square and your radius a side.
