Question

If the perimeter of a square is 4x - 24, what is the area of the square?

Answer 1

Answer:

A = (x - 6)² sq. units or

A = (x² - 12x + 36) sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

P = 4s, where s is the side.

4s = 4x - 24

s = x - 6

A = s²

A = (x - 6)² sq. units or

A = (x² - 12x + 36) sq. units
