Question

If a square has a perimeter of 36 cm what is the area of the square

Answer 1

area is 81

squares hav 4 sides which are all equal so divide 36 by 4 to get 9

to find area you do Length*Width so 9*9=81

Explanation:

Answer 2

The perimeter is just the sum of all four sides of the square.

36cm = Side 1 + Side 2 + Side 3 + side 4

Because it's a square, all the sides are the same length, so we can rewrite this as:

36cm = 4*Side

Side = 36cm/4 = 9cm

So to find the area, we multiply a length side, by a width side.

In this case (a square), we have:
