The perimeter of the square is 28 cm. What will be the area of the square if its side is lengthened by 2 cm.

The first step is to find the length of the side of the square, knowing that its perimeter is 28 centimeters. The perimeter of a square is equal to the sum of the lengths of all its four sides.

a = 28/4 = 7 cm.

The next step is to increase the obtained value of 7 cm by 2 cm.

7 + 2 = 9 cm.

Let’s calculate what is the area of a rectangle with a side length of 9 centimeters. The area of a rectangle is equal to the square of its side.

S = 9² = 9 * 9 = 81 cm².

Answer: 81 cm².
