Gonzales · Answer 1

225m^2.

Steps

First, if you divide 60 by 4, you get 15. Since it has four sides and is a perfect square, you get 15m for each side.

Next, find the area A=l•w, so A=15•15. Multiply 15 by 15 and you get 225m^2

^2 means squared.

Using the formulas

A=a²

P=4 a

Solving for A

A=1:16p²=1:16·60²=225m²
