Chapter 5.4, Problem 12PSA

To determine

To find: The area of given square.

Answer to Problem 12PSA

  $264.06\text{ sq ft}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Perimeter of given square is $65$ feet.

Calculation:

Perimeter of given square is $65$ feet.

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{i}\text{.e}\text{. perimeter}=65\\ \Rightarrow 4\times \text{side}=65\\ \Rightarrow \text{side}=\frac{65}{4}\\ \Rightarrow \text{side}=16.25\\ \text{Now, area of square}={\text{side}}^2\\ \Rightarrow \text{area of square}={\left(16.25\right)}^2\\ \Rightarrow \text{area of square}=264.06\text{ sq ft}\text{.}\end{array}$

Hence, area of given square is $264.06\text{ sq ft}$ .
