प्रश्न
The following table gives the information regarding length of a side of a square and its area:
| Length of a side (in cm): | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Area of square (in cm2): | 1 | 4 | 9 | 16 | 25 |
Draw a graph to illustrate this information.

उत्तर
Here, length of a side is an independent variable and area of square is a dependent variable. So, we take length of a side on the x-axis and area of square on the y-axis.
Let us choose the following scale:
On x-axis: 2 cm = 1 cm
On y-axis: 1 cm = 2 cm2
Now we plot (1,1), (2,4), (3,9), (4,16), (5,25). These points are joined to get the graph representing the given information as shown in the figure below.
