A rectangle is formed by placing two identical squares side by side. the area of the rectangle is 892 cm2. What is the perimeter of the square?

Answer 1

288 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have 2 congruent squares, side by side, the perimeter is 6*sidelength.

We divide 72 by 6 to find sidelength, and get 12.

We square 12 to find the area of a square, and get 144.

Multiply by 2 to find the area of the rectangle, and get 288 cm^2
