231,198 PointsHere's a few hints:
- do not change the existing constructor function code ("Square")
- also do not change the code for the "SideLength" property
- make a new property named "Area" of type "double"
- use the "get" method in the new property to compute and return the area
- the area of a square can be calculated by multiplying the length of a side by itself
