You can put this solution on YOUR website! well it's length *height, but in the special case of a square, simply 1 side times itself, because the length and the height of the square are always equal. I thought at first you meant one square with the sides 5, 10, 12, and 15 cm; but that would be impossible, because the entire point of a square is to have all of its sides equal. I hereby assume there are four squares:
that with one side at the length of 5 has all sides of 5, because it's a square, so all sides need to be equal.  , your answer is 25.
 as you can see, for 10, the area is  , or 100.
that's it, simple enough, but ask if u have any questions.
ps: means any of a square's sides to the second power.
