The square was cut into 4 equal pieces. What is the area of each part if the perimeter of the square is 48cm?

To solve the problem, you first need to determine the length of one of the sides of the square.
To do this, the perimeter of the square, which, according to the condition of the problem, is 48 centimeters, should be divided by the number of sides of the square, since they are the same.
We will receive.
48/4 = 12 centimeters. (The length of either side of the square.)
Since the square was divided into 4 equal parts, it means that each side was divided into 2 parts.
We will receive.
12/2 = 6 cm.
In this case, the area of each of the four squares will be equal to:
6 * 6 = 36 cm ^ 2.
