A square is folded in half to form a rectangle. If the resulting rectangle has a perimeter of 15 inches,what is the are of the original square?HELP...please?

Answer 1

15=2(s+(s/2))
15=2s+s
15=3s
s=5in

A=s^2

Answer 2

With a little trial and error, I figured that the dimensions of the rectangle are 2.5 by 5

That means that the original square has 5 inches on each side.

Take it from there.

Answer 3

15x4=60 or 15x5=75.
I'm not sure?
