To find the area of a square, you can simply multiply the length of one side by itself. In this case, since all four sides of the square measure 5 inches each, the length of one side is 5 inches.
To calculate the area, you multiply the length of one side (5 inches) by itself:
Area = side length * side length = 5 inches * 5 inches = 25 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the square measuring 5 inches on all four sides is 25 square inches.
