It appears as if 12cm is half the length of the side so we can assume that the total length of one side is 24cm.
The area of a square is given by the equation 
where s is the length of the side.
A=576
The area of this square is 576cm2.
Hope this helps!
Answer
Moon orbits Earth at a pace of 2,288 miles per hour (3,683 kilometers per hour).
43/100 - 223/100
(43x100)-(23x100)/100x100
-18000/100000
(-18000/2000)/(100000/2000)
= -9/5 or -1 4/5
You are correct. The scale factor is 1/5 = 0.2
Nice work.
