How can i complete this?

I dont really know how to finish this task and if Im even in the right track. A little bit of help would suffice.

Square.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Square : Polygon
    {
        public double SideLength { get; private set; }

        public Square(double sideLength) : base(4)
        {
            SideLength = sideLength;
        }

        public double Area 
        { 
            get
            {
                Area = SideLength * SideLength;
            }
        }
    }
}
Polygon.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Polygon
    {
        public int NumSides { get; private set; }

        public Polygon(int numSides)
        {
            NumSides = numSides;
        }
    }
}

You're really close, but the instructions say the property should return the area:

                return SideLength * SideLength;
