Question

If the perimeter a square is 48
Cm then find its area

Answer 1

1 side of the square=48/4

=12cm

area of the square=12^2

=144sqcm

Answer 2

Given:

The perimeter of a square is 48 centimeters.

To Find:

The area of the square is?

Solution:

1. Let the side of the square be x centimeters.

2. The perimeter of a square of side s is given by the formula,

=> Perimeter of the square = 4 x s.

3. Use the above formula to find the side length,

=> 48 = 4*x,

=> x = 48/4,

=> x = 12 Cm.

4. The area of a square with side length x is given by the formula,

=> Area of the square = x².

=> Area of the square = 12 x 12,

=> Area of the square = 144 cm².

Therefore, the area of the square is 144 cm².
