Answer:

144

Step-by-step explanation:

48 ÷ 4 (which is how many sides a square has) is 12

So 12x12 because l×w (length and width) and all sides of a square are equal

So the answer would be 144

Question:

The perimeter of a square is 48 inches. What is the area, in square inches, of the square?

Statement:

The perimeter of a square is 48 inches.

Solution:

  • We know, perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side of a square.
  • So, the length of a side of a square = Perimeter of the square ÷ 4
  • Therefore, the length of the given square

= 48 inches ÷ 4

= 12 inches

  • Now, area of a square = square of the length of a side of the square
  • Therefore, the area of the given square

= (12 inches)^2

= (12×12) square inches

= 132 square inches

Answer:

The area of the square is 132 square inches.
