Answer:
perimeter=side+side+side
in isosceles triangle 2 sides are equal so we give them the value X
128=32+x+x
128-32=2x
96/2=x
48=x
congruent sides have equal areas therefore the sided have equal areas that is 48 is the perimeter of square.
side of square are equal
perimeter of square=4s
48=4s
48/4=s
12=s
area of square=side x side
area of square=12 x 12
area of square=144
