The side of the square is 16 cm. Find the area of the second square if its perimeter is 1/32 of the perimeter of the first square.

1) Find the perimeter of the first square.

To do this, multiply the length of its side by 4, since the square has 4 sides that are equal to each other.

We get:

16 * 4 = 64 cm.

2) Find the perimeter of the second square.

To do this, multiply the perimeter of the first square by the indicated part.

Will be:

64 * 1/32 = 64/32 = 2 cm.

3) Find the length of the side of the second square.

Divide the perimeter by 4.

2/4 = 0.5 cm.

4) Determine the area of the second square.

To do this, we multiply the sides.

0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25 cm2

Answer: Area 0.25 cm2
