Question

The perimeter of a square shaped carpet is 28m. Find its area.

• A. 49 sq.m
• B. 7 sq.m
• C. 49 sq.cm
• D. 7 sq.cm

Answer 1

The correct option is A 49 sq.m

Perimeter of the square shaped carpet is = 28m
$\therefore$, the side of the carpet = $28÷4$ = 7m
(as all 4 sides of a square are equal)
Hence, the area of the carpet
= $side\times side$
= $7\times 7$ = 49 sq.m
