Answer:

9 inches²

Explanation:

Since a square has 4 equal sides, we can divide its perimeter by 4 to find the length of a single side.

12/4 = 3

Each side of the square is 3 inches long.

To find the area of the square, then, multiply the length, 3 and the width, 3, together.

3 · 3 = 9

The area of the square is 9 inches.

Good luck ·ω·
