We know that when the square is overlapping the other square so that their sides are parallel to one another the area is 25" squared because that it a quarter of the entire area of 100" sqared.
The center of a square is 360 degrees and one angle of a square is 90 degrees.
The smaller square that is formed by their overlap has an area of 25 because each of it's sides is 5: the base is 5 because that is half of the base of the first square, and a side is 5 because that is half of the side of the first square.

Speaking to a local sexton, Adams learned that this square, long used as a potter's field had become the final resting place for over 2000 Continental soldiers, sailors and British prisoners, many of whom had died in a prison across the street.
In 1825 the city changed the square's name to Washington Square in tribute to George Washington, and as the surrounding neighborhood became a fashionable residential neighborhood, a movement arose to build a memorial to Washington; but the original plans never proceeded beyond the laying of the cornerstone.
Other Points of Interest: There is an earlier and much simpler memorial in the northeast section of the square: a stone erected in 1900 by the Daughters of the American Revolution, with a plaque citing the many American soldiers who died as prisoners in local jails and were buried in these grounds.
