Answer 1

Amaya is wrong.

Explanation:

The perimeter of the square is 20 inches, which means each side of the square needs to add up to 20 inches. If the side length of that side Amaya pointed out is 4 inches, then the total perimeter would only be 18 inches, in another case, if they were talking about the area of the square/rectangle (now), it would be 20 inches. So, Amaya is wrong.
