To find the area of a square, we need to know one side of the square. Since the perimeter of the square is 24cm, this means that the sum of all four sides is 24cm.
Therefore, each side of the square would be 24cm divided by 4, which is 6cm.
To find the area of the square, we square the length of one side:
Area = side x side
Area = 6cm x 6cm
Area = 36 square cm
Therefore, the area of the square is 36 square cm.
A square has a perimeter of 24cm.
Calculate the area of the square.
