a big square is formed from 9 small squares. the perimeter of each small square is 40cm. find the area of the big square.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the formula??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should divide the perimeter of the small square into 4 so that you would get one side of the small square.(it is square, it has equal sides)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And you have 9 of them, so find the area of one of them and multiply it by 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is 90 will be the answer??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

900

OpenStudy (anonymous):

indeed

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

perimeter = 40 so each side as length 10 and are = 10^2 = 100

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

900
