Question

The perimeter of a square garden is 12 km. Find its area.​

Answer 1

144 km because all sides of a square are equal and length times breadth is the area

Answer 2

The area of the garden is 9 km²

Explanation:

If the garden is a square, that means that it's side length is one fourth of the total perimeter, giving us a length and width of 3km

That means that it's area is 3km × 3km, or 9km²
