The perimeter of a square is 36 inches. What is the area of the square?

Answer 1

To find the area of a square, you can use the formula A = s^2, where A is the area and s is the length of one side.

Since the perimeter of the square is 36 inches, each side of the square is 36/4 = 9 inches.

Now, plug in the value of s into the formula:

A = 9^2
A = 81 square inches

Therefore, the area of the square is 81 square inches.
