Answer:


Area = 81cm^2

Explanation:

Given


Length = 12


Width = 6cm

Required

Determine the area of a square with the same perimeter

First, calculate the perimeter (P) of the rectangle.


P=2*(Length + Width)


P=2*(12 + 6)


P=2*18


P=36

The perimeter of a square is:


P = 4L

Where L is the side length.

Substitute 36 for P


36 = 4L

Make L the subject


L =(36)/(4)


L =9

The area of the square is:


Area = L^2


Area = 9^2


Area = 81cm^2
