Answer:
Explanation:
Because a square has 4 equal sides:
P = 4x
A =
Step 1. Substitute 4x into perimeter equation
(original P equation)
(substitute P = 4x)
Step 2. Solve for x
(multiply denominator on both sides)
(distribute 4x)
(combine like terms, set = to 0)
(factor)
Continue using quadratic formula to find x
Step 3. Plug x into area equation,
