A square has a perimeter of 24 inches. What is the area of the square?

Perimeter of a square = 4s where s = the length of a side. Therefore, we have:
4s = P
4s = 24

Using our equation solver, we type in 4s = 24 and get:
s = 6

The problems asks for area of a square. It's given by
A = s^2

Plugging in s = 6, we get:
A = 6^2
A = 6 * 6
A = 36

Now if you want a shortcut in the future, type in the shape and measurement you know. Such as:
square perimeter = 24

From the link, you'll learn every other measurement about the square.
