OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

The perimeter is the distance around the square.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Drawing the problem helps.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes, it helps to see the data :-)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Recall a square has 4 equal sides.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

So, 56/4 ?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

That would give us a area of 14.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes, each side is 14 inches long. But the AREA = ?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

*meters long

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

The area of a region is the number of square units it contains.

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

4

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Why 4?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Never mind. I divided. Would the area be 196 square meters?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

yes

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

:) I squared 14

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Good job :D

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Thank you!! I have given you a medal.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Thanks for asking :-)
