Question

A square has a perimeter of 24, find the area of it.​

Answer 1

Answer: 36 units²

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are asked to find the area of a square that has a perimeter of 24.

Remember that the formula for the

perimeter of a square is 4 times a side.

Therefore, since the perimeter of the given square is 24,

we have 24 = 4s and dividing both sides by 4, 6 = s.

Now, remember that that the formula for area of a square is s² and since the length of a side of the given square is 6, we have (6)² or 36.

So the area of a square hat has a perimeter of 24 units is 36 units².
