Answer 1

Hi there!!!

Perimeter of Jonah's square backyard = 56 m

4 × side = 56 m

$\bf{side = \frac{56}{4} }$


Side = 14 m

Area of Jonah's square backyard = side × side

= 14 × 14

$\bf{ = 196 {m}^{2}}$

Hope it helps u

Answer 2

Given,

The perimeter of Jonah's square backyard is 56 meters.

To Find,

The area of Jonah's backyard =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that the perimeter of Jonah's square backyard is 56 meters. We have to find its area.

$Perimeter = 56\: meters$

First, we will find the measure of each side of the square backyard.

The formula for the perimeter of a square is:

$Perimeter = 4*Side$

Substituting the value in the above formula,

$56 = 4*Side$

$Side = \frac{56}{4} = 14\: meters$

Hence, the side is equal to 14 m.

Now, the formula for the area of a square is:

$Area = Side*Side$

Substituting the value of the side,

$Area = 14*14$

        $= 196\: m^{2}$

Hence, the area of Jonah's square backyard is equal to 196 m^2.
