Question

find the area of a square whose perimeter is 240 m

Answer 1

perimeter = 4a
240 = 4 a
4a=240
a= 240/4
a= 60
as we find out a value so we can substitute in area formula

area = a²
= 60²
= 60 X 60
= 360 cm²
hence the area of square is 360cm²

Answer 2

perimeter = 240m
4s = 240
s = 240/4
s = 60m
area = s^2
area = 60 × 60 = 3600m^2
