2. The Perimeter of a square is P. Which equation could be used to find its area (A)?
a. A = P2
b. A = (p/4)^2
c. A = 4P
d. A = (√p)^2

Respuesta :

Answer:

A = (P/4)²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Perimeter = P

Required

Determine the area

First, we need to calculate the sides of the square using:

[tex]P = 4L[/tex]

Where L represents the length of the side

Make L the subject

[tex]L = \¼P[/tex]

Area is calculated as thus:

[tex]Area = L\²[/tex]

Substitute ¼P for L

[tex]Area = (\¼P)\²[/tex]
