Answer:
We know that the square has 5 centimeters sides.
The area of a square is defined as
[tex]A=s^{2}[/tex]
Where [tex]s=5cm[/tex]. Replacing this value, we have
[tex]A=(5cm)^{2} =25 \ cm^{2}[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the square is 25 square centimeters.
Its perimeter is defined as the sum of all sides, so
[tex]P=5+5+5+5=20 \ cm[/tex]
Therefore, its perimeter is 20 centimeters.
