Area and Perimeter of a Square

A square with side length 7 cm is drawn on screen, with gridlines appearing to visualize area as unit squares filling the shape while the perimeter is traced along the outline. The animation builds the formulas step by step, showing area = side × side = 49 cm² and perimeter = 4 × side = 28 cm, then matches these values against multiple-choice answers. Useful for students learning to distinguish area from perimeter and apply square formulas correctly.
