Each side would equal 12 centimeters then, and the way to find the area is by multiplying the height and width. So, the area would be 144 centimeters!
I hope this helps!! :)
P.S. When finding the area of a triangle always remember after multiplying the 2 numbers together you have to divide by 2.

the area is 144 units.

area is length × width

squares have an equal lenght and width, and 4 sides. if a square's perimeter is 48, we need to divide that by 4 to get the size of each side.

48 ÷ 4 = 12

each side is 12 units. to get the area, we need to mutliple length × width, in this case 12 × 12, which equals 144 units.
