A square has a perimeter of 36 m What is its area?

1. Okay, so we know the preimeter (all the sides added up) equal 36. 2. So we take the perimeter and devide by 4, because a square has 4 sides. (9) 3. Now that we have 9, we multiply that by another side (9) and get 81. 4. 81 is the area. ---- 36=Perimeter 36/4=Sides l * h=area 9*9=81 81=area
