The formula for perimeter is length + length + width + width
You know that all the sides of a square are equal to each other. That means that all the values in the perimeter formula should be the same. Therefore you can divide 72 by 4 (perimeter divided by the number of sides)
72 / 4 = 18
^^^Each side is 18 in
The formula for are is...
A = length x width
so...
18 * 18 = 324
324 in^2
Hope this helped!

Answer: <em>5/8, i think :)</em>
Answer:
a) 1 in : 6 in
b) P=32 inches
A =60 inches ^2
c) P= 16 ft
A = 15 ft ^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The drawing is 6 inches tall, while the real flag is 3 ft tall
Change ft to inches
3 ft * 12 inches/1ft = 36 inches
drawing : real life
6 36
Divide each by 6
1 6
The scale is 1 to 6
So for every 1 inch on the drawing, there is 6 inches in real life
b) P= 2(l+w) = 2(10+6) = 2(16) = 32 inches
A = l*w = 10*6 =60 inches ^2
C)
The drawing is 10 inches by 6 inches
Multiply by the scale factor of 6
Real life is 60 inches by 36 inches
Divide by 12 to get back to ft
5ft by 3 ft
P= 2(l+w) = 2(5+3) = 2(8) = 16 ft
A = l*w = 5*3 =15 ft ^2
