x = side length
y = area

Each ordered pair is of the form (x,y)

"The area of a square with sides of 2 feet is 4 square feet" means we have the ordered pair (x,y) = (2,4) where x = 2 and y = 4.

"The area of a square with sides of 4 feet is 16 square feet" means we have the ordered pair (x,y) = (4,16) where x = 4 and y = 16

--------------------------------------

So the two ordered pairs are (2,4) and (4,16)
