If the perimeter of one square is 16cm and the length of the side of the other square is half the length of the side

If the perimeter of one square is 16cm and the length of the side of the other square is half the length of the side of the first, then the area of the other square is equal to ..

The perimeter of a square is the sum of the lengths of all its sides.

The formula for the perimeter of a square is:

P = 4a;

P is the perimeter of the square;

a is the length of the side of the square.

Find the side of the first square:

4a = 16 cm;

a = 16/4 = 4 cm.

Then, the side of the second square is:

4 cm / 2 = 2 cm.

Formula for determining the area of a square:

S = a ^ 2;

S is the area of the square;

a is the length of the side of the square.

Find the area of the second square:

S = 2 cm * 2 cm = 4 cm2.

Answer: the area of the second square is 4 cm2.
