The length and width of the park are measured in linear units: inches, miles, meters, etc. the area is measured in square units. explain the reason for using square units for area of the park.

 In the area formula, there are two dimensions that are multiplied, base and height. So, the units are also multiplied. Inches times inches is inches squared. Also, area is a measurement that counts how many squares fit inside of a shape, so it makes sense that the units are described as squared.

Good luck Hope that helps
