Hi!

Find the length of the sides of a square if the number of square meters in its area is 1.5 times the number of meters in its perimeter.

Let x = side of the square

x^2 = 1.5(4x)
x^2 = 6x
x^2 - 6x = 0
x(x-6) = 0
x = 6 meters

Good luck! Make sure to give me a medal if I helped. :)

I have another one... If the perimeter of a square is 94m, find its area.
