The perimeter of the first square is 8 cm, and the second is 4 times larger. Find the area of the second square.

Let’s start by remembering the formula for calculating the area of a square.

So, S = a ^ 2, where a is the side of the square.

And we need to find the side of the second square in order to find its area.

We know the perimeter of the first square and it is 8 cm, and we also know that the perimeter of the second square is 4 times the perimeter of the first.

Let’s find it:

P2 = 8 * 4 = 32 cm perimeter of the second square. Let’s calculate the side of the second square:

P = 4a;

a = Р / 4 = 32/4 = 8 cm side length of the larger square:

S2 = a ^ 2 = 8 ^ 2 = 64 cm ^ 2.
