Question

The perimeter of a square is 52 cm.
Calculate the area of the square

Answer 1

Answer:

$169cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths of the shape. Since a square has equal side lengths, each side must be the same. Divide 52/4=13cm. 13cm is the length of 1 side. Area is length times width, and since each side is 13, multiply 13cm*13cm to get the area, which is $169cm^2$,

Answer 2

Answer:

169cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's a square both of the lengths of the different sides are the same. (A square has 4 sides, therefore we can form an equation : 4x=52)

When you solve for x which determined the length of one single side (x=52/4) and you get 13.

Using the formula for the area of a square a^2

with a being 13, this means the area is 13^2= 169
