Question

I am a square. My perimeter is 48 inches what is my area?

Answer 1

Answer:

area=144

Step-by-step explanation:

so we need to find the length of each side

since its a square there is 4 sides

perimeter is all the sides added up

48/4=12

the formula for a squares are is b*h

12*12= 144

Answer 2

Answer: 144 in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square can be calculated with the formula:

$P=4s$

Where s is the side lenght.

Solve for s:

$s=\frac{48in}{4}\\s=12in$

Use this value to calculate the area of the square with the following formula:

$A=s^2\\A=(12in)^2\\A=144in^2$
