The perimeter of a square is 24. Find the area of that square.

To solve this problem, remember that the perimeter of a square is equal to the sum of the lengths of all its four sides. Since all sides of a square are equal, its perimeter P = 4a, where a is its side. The area of a square is equal to the square of its side. S = a ^ 2. We calculate what the side of the square is, knowing. that the perimeter is 24 centimeters.
a = 24/4 = 6 centimeters.
Let’s calculate what is the area of the square.
S = 6 * 6 = 36 sq. Cm.
Answer: 36 square centimeters.
