Question

The perimeter of a square is 96m.Find its area.

Answer 1

Solution

P = 4a

96 = 4a

a = 24 m

so, the area is

A = a²

A = 24²

A = 24 × 24

A = 576 m²

Answer 2

The area of that square is 576 because 96/4 to find the side length of the square which is 24 then plug in the formula (side length x side length) or 24 x 24 giving 576
