Something is wrong in your image, when I consider the number all the way at the bottom to be the length of a side... using Pythagoras to calculate the diagonal length doesn't give me the indicated value.
Is it really a square? What precisely measures 22.3?

FAQ: How do I calculate the area of a square with 490 mm2?
How do you calculate the area of a rectangle?
To calculate the area of a rectangle, you simply multiply the length by the width. The formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is: Area = length x width.
What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle?
The formula for finding the area of a triangle is: Area = 1/2 x base x height. To use this formula, you need to know the base and height of the triangle.
How do you calculate the area of a circle?
To calculate the area of a circle, you need to know the radius. The formula for finding the area of a circle is: Area = π x (radius)^2. For most calculations, you can use an approximation of π = 3.14.
What is the difference between perimeter and area?
Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a shape, while area is the measure of the surface inside a shape. Perimeter is measured in linear units (such as inches or centimeters) while area is measured in square units (such as square inches or square centimeters).
How do you find the area of irregular shapes?
To find the area of irregular shapes, you can break the shape into smaller, simpler shapes and calculate the area of each shape separately. Then, you can add the areas together to get the total area of the irregular shape.
