Answer: 36 units²
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are asked to find the area of a square that has a perimeter of 24.
Remember that the formula for the
perimeter of a square is 4 times a side.
Therefore, since the perimeter of the given square is 24,
we have 24 = 4s and dividing both sides by 4, 6 = s.
Now, remember that that the formula for area of a square is s² and since the length of a side of the given square is 6, we have (6)² or 36.
So the area of a square hat has a perimeter of 24 units is 36 units².
