Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a square carpet = 48m

Side of a square carpet = ?

Let the side of the square carpet be x

Therefore Perimeter of the square = 4 × side

48m = 4 × x

48m = 4x

48m/4 = x

12m = x

Now side of a square carpet is 12m

So,

Area of square carpet = Side × Side

= 12m × 12m

= 144m²

Answer: Are of the square carpet is 144m².
