Answer:

Explanation:

I got you

So,

The perimeter of a square is the sum of the lengths of all its sides, and since a square has all sides equal, we can find the length of one side by dividing the perimeter by 4:

32 cm ÷ 4 = 8 cm

Therefore, each side of the square measures 8 centimeters. To find the area of the square, we can use the formula:

Area = side length x side length

So, the area of the square is:

Area = 8 cm x 8 cm = 64 square centimeters

Therefore, the area of the square with a perimeter of 32 centimeters is 64 square centimeters.
