Question

I am a square. My perimeter is 48 inches what is my area?

Answer 1

area=144

Explanation:

so we need to find the length of each side

since its a square there is 4 sides

perimeter is all the sides added up

48/4=12

the formula for a squares are is b*h

12*12= 144

Answer 2

Answer: 144 in^2

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square can be calculated with the formula:

`P=4s`

Where s is the side lenght.

Solve for s:

`s=(48in)/(4)\\s=12in`

Use this value to calculate the area of the square with the following formula:

`A=s^2\\A=(12in)^2\\A=144in^2`
