Question

The perimeter of a square is 36what is the area of the square?​

Answer 1

Answer: 81 units²

Step-by-step explanation: To solve this problem, remember that the formula for the area of a square is 4s.

Therefore, since the perimeter of the given square is 36, we have 36 = 4s and dividing both sides by 4, 9 = s.

Now, remember that the formula for the area of a square is s² and since the length of a side of the given square is 9, we have (9)² or 81.

So the area of a square that has a perimeter of 36 is 81 units².
