The perimeter of the square is 24 centimeters. Find the length of one side and the area.

1. Since all sides of a square are equal, therefore, it has 4 sides equal in length. If the length of one side is a cm, then the perimeter will be equal to P = a + a + a + a = 4 * a. So to find what the side of the square is equal to, the perimeter must be divided by 4, a = P / 4. Calculate the length of each side of the square.

24/4 = 6 cm.

2. Let’s calculate the area of our square. S = a * a.

6 * 6 = 36 cm ^ 2.

3. You can also solve the problem in one step.

24/4 ^ 2 = 36 cm ^ 2.

Answer: The area of the square is 36 cm ^ 2, and the side length is 6 cm.
