Answer 1

Are you just guessing Or not

Answer 2

What does "perimeter" mean?
If the length of one side of a square is x, what it the perimeter of that square?
If the perimeter is 48, what is the length of one side of that square?

Answer 3

What is the formula for the area of the square? What is the area?

Answer 4

@mathmale wait so does that mean is there is 4 sides in a square it is then 12x4=48

Answer 5

Yes, or, stated a bit more accurately: If the perimeter is 48 inches, then each side has the length x = 48 inches / 4 = 12 inches. Nice work.

Now that you have the length of one side, aaron, how do you find the area of this same square?

Answer 6

A=BW

Answer 7

I'd prefer L*W, but go ahead with A=BW. If B=12 inches (from before), and W=12 inches, what is the area of your square, Aaron?

Answer 8

Oh ok Well i can figure out the rest of it but thank you so much that really helped

Answer 9

You're very welcome. Have a GREAT day, Aaron!
