Since the square has a perimeter of 36cm, then each side of the square is 9cm (because perimeter = sum of all sides).
To find the area of a square, we need to square the length of one of its sides.
Thus, the area of the square can be found by:
Area = length x width
Area = 9cm x 9cm
Area = 81cm²
Therefore, the area of the square is 81cm².
