Answer:

Perimeter is
4√(5). Area is 5cm².

Explanation:

Interesting question.

Side length is
√(5), correct?

Do you know how to find the perimeter of a square? Add up each side, or since they're the same: 4 x Side

P = 4S =
4√(5) I don't know any simpler way to express that.

Area of a square is S², right?

So
√(5) } x
√(5), which is just 5 cm² That's as "simplest form" as it gets.
