If you divide 36 by 4, it equals 9, so each side is 9. Then you multiply 9 to 9, which equals 81 in^2.

p = 36 inches

It means Perimeter = 36 inches

And it asks for the area

Now we know that the formula for the perimeter of the square is

Perimeter = 4* side

It means

36 = 4 * side

Divide both sides by 4

9 = side

side of square = 9 inches

And now it asks for the are

We know the formula for area for square

Area of square = side^2 = 9^2 = 81 square inches
