Question

A square has a perimeter of 8 cm. What is its area?

64 cm2
16 cm2
8 cm2
4 cm2

Answer 1

4 cm 2

Explanation:

You can solve for A:

A= 1/6 p^2 =1/16 times 8^2 =4cm^2

(^ means exponet)

Answer 2

A square is going to have 4 sides with the same length. So, we can divide to find the length of each side.

8 / 4 = 2cm

Now, we can solve for the area (Area = Base * Height)

2 * 2 = 4cm²

Best of Luck!
