Question

A square has a perimeter of 28 inches. Find the area of the square.

Answer 1

A=49in²

Explanation:

A=1

16P2=1

16·282=49in²

if it doesnt make sense im sorry but the answer A=49in²

Answer 2

A = 49 in^2

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is found by

P = 4s where s is the side length

28 = 4s

Divide each side by 4

28/4 = 4s/4

7 =s

We want to find the area

A = s^2 where s is the side length

A = 7^2

A = 7^2

A = 49 in^2
