{
    class Square : Polygon
    {
        public double SideLength { get; private set; }

        public double Area 
        { 
            get { return SideLength * SideLength; } 
        }

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

        public void Scale(double factor)
        {
            SideLength *= factor;
        }
    }

Polygon.cs
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Polygon
    {
        public int NumSides { get; private set; }

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

:point_right: If you're totally lost, re-watch the Expression Bodied Members video.

There's a good example of converting a computed property get into a single line at about time index 01:26.

It's basically just removing the "get", "return", and braces and adding the ("=>") symbol.
