The perimeter of a square is 40 cm. Find the area of this square.

1. Since the perimeter of the square is known, its side is equal to 1/4 of the perimeter. Find the side of the square:

Side = 40 * 1/4 = 10 cm.

2. We define the area of a square by the following formula S = a ^ 2, where S is the area of a square with side a:

S = (10 cm) ^ 2 = 100 cm2.

Answer: the area of the square is 100 cm2.
