Question

find the area of a square park whose perimeter is 240 m.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sides of square be x

x+x+x+x =240

4 x = 240

x = 60

therefore area = 3600

Answer 2

Given,

The perimeter of the square park is 240 meters.

To find,

Area of the square park.

Solution,

The perimeter of the square can be defined as the sum of all four sides of the square.

The formula of the perimeter of the square is 4a where a is the side of the square.

⇒   4a = 240.

⇒   a = 60m.

Therefore each side of the square is 60 meters.

The area of the square is calculated by using formulae = (side)²

Therefore the area of the rectangular park with 60 meters side each is = (60 meters)² = 3600 meters square.

Hence, the area of the square park is 3600 m².
