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

Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
I too also need this answer.
The answer would be D.
you would start by choosing one of the variables to eliminate, i chose to eliminate X first. in order to eliminate X, i had to multiply the second equation by -2. X then cancelled out, and i solved for the Y the same way you would a 1 step equation. Y=-4
I then took the first original equations, plugged Y in, and solved for X. X=3.
Hope this helps!
