Question

What is the area of a square with a perimeter of 44 mm?

Answer 1

The area of the square is 121mm

Explanation:

To solve this we need two basic formulas:

P = 4s

A =
`s^(2)`

P = perimeter

s = the length of the side

Since the shape is a square all the sides are the same length. To get the value of 's' we need to isolate:

P = 4s

44 = 4s

44 / 4 = 4s / 4

11 = s

Now plug in the answer for 's' to get the area:

A =
`s^(2)`

A =
`11^(2)`

A = 121

Hope this helps.
