Find the area of the square with perimeter 24 yards?

Answer 1

The area of a polygon is equal to the number of square units inside the polygon. To find the exact answer you need to understand the difference between perimeter and area. Suppose the perimeter as the length of fence required to enclose the yard, whereas area is the space inside the yard. Perimeter is 1-dimensional by measuring in linear units such as inches, feet or meters. Area is 2-dimensional: it has a length and a width. Area is measured in square units for example square inches, square feet or square meters.



To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. The formula is: A= L•W

Where A will be the area, L will be the length, W will be the width, and • means multiply.



A square is always in a rectangle shape with 4 equal sides. To measure the area of a square, you will multiply the length of one side by itself. Its formula is:

A= S•S Here A will the area, s Will be the length of a side, whereas • means multiply.



Now let’s see at some examples for measuring the area of rectangles.

Example 1: Measure the area of a square with each side is measured 2 inches.

Solution: A = S•A

A = (2 in) • (2 in) = 4 in2

Example 2: A rectangle has a length of 8 centimeters and a width of 3 centimeters. Find the area.

Solution: A=L•S

A = (8 cm) • (3 cm) = 24 cm2

 

Answer 2

 area of a quare =36

the width of square =6

The perimeter of the square = 6*4=24

the width of rectangle is 2/3 of width of square = 2/3*6 =4m

let length of rectangle be x

2x+8 =24 (perimeter of square and rectangle is same)

2x=24-8

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8 m

The length of rectangle = 8 and width =4.

So  area = 32square meters

Answer 3

6 yards equals to 24 ft.

Answer 4

Find the area of of the square with perimeter 24 yards.
