A square has a perimeter of 24 inches. What is the area of the square? Perimeter of a square = 4s where s = the length of a side. Therefore, we have: 4s = P 4s = 24 Using our equation solver, we type in 4s = 24 and get: s = 6 The problems asks for area of a square. It's given by A = s^2 Plugging in s = 6, we get: A = 6^2 A = 6 * 6 A = 36 Now if you want a shortcut in the future, type in the shape and measurement you know. Such as: square perimeter = 24 From the link, you'll learn every other measurement about the square.
