Question

a square has a perimeter of 72 units. if its length measures 3y and its width measures 2x, what is the area of the square

Answer 1

324

Explanation:

square has 4 sides.

perimeter adds all sides to make 72

72/4=18 units each side

length * width =area of square

square has all sides equal, so 3y and 2x are tricks to confuse. All sides are 18.

18*18= 324
