Question

The perimeter of a square is 40 centimeters. What is the area?

Answer 1

The area of the square is 24 bcz 6x4=24

Answer 2

Solution:

Perimeter of square = 40cm

But perimeter of square = 4 × side

Therefore, 4 × side = 40 cm

Therefore, side= 40/4 cm = 10cm

Now, the area of the square = (side × side)

Therefore, area of the square = 10 × 10 cm² =

100 cm².
