Question

If the perimeter of a square is 48cn find the area

Answer 1

Solution:

Let the side of a square = a cm

perimeter (P) = 48cm [given]

=> 4a = 48cm

=> a = 48cm/4

=> a = 12 cm

Therefore,

Area of the square (A) = a²

= (12cm)²

= 144 cm²

Answer 2

perimeter of square is

4s

so, 4s=48

s=48/4=12

so one side =12

area of square

=S square

=12x12=144

so area of square =144cm
