1. If the perimeter of a square is 480 feet, then what is the area? 2. If the perimeter of a square is 1,000 feet, then what is the area? 3. If the perimeter of a square is 6 miles, then what is the area?

A square has 4 sides of equal legnth

so if the side legnth is s, then the perimiter is 4s

aera=side^2

so if perimiter is P, then the area is (P/4) ^2

1. (P/4) ^2 = (480/4) ^2 = (120) ^2=14400 ft^2

2. (P/4) ^2 = (1000/4) ^2=250^2=62500 ft^2

3. (P/4) ^2 = (6/4) ^2 = (3/2) ^2=9/4 mi^2 or about 2.25 mi^2
