Question

A square has a perimeter of 14 m. What is the area of the square?

• A. 12.25 sq. m
• B. 10.25 sq. m
• C. 20.25 sq. m
• D. 6.25 sq. m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 12.25 sq. m

Perimeter of a square = 14 m
(Perimeter of a square = side x 4)

Side of square = $\frac{14}{4}$ m = 3.5 m = $\frac{35}{10}$ m

Area of square = side x side
= $\frac{35}{10}$ $\times$$\frac{35}{10}$
= $\frac{1225}{100}$
= 12.25 sq.m

So, Area of square = 12.25 sq. m
