Not sure what am I doing incorrectly

Square.cs

{
    class Square : Polygon

        public double SideLength { get; private set; }

        public double Area 
        {
            get
            {
                return Math.Sqrt(SideLength);
            }
        } 

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

Hi!

Math is a class belonging to the System namespace.

In order to be able to use it, you have to add a line at the top of your file stating that you want to use this namespace, like so:

using System;

Good luck!

Thank you Calin Bogdan, appreciate you time and help.
