Answer:
[tex]{ \tt{let \: one \: side \: be \: s}} \\ { \bf{perimeter = 4s}} \\ 56 = 4s \\ s = \frac{56}{4} \\ { \tt{s = 14 \: cm}} \\ \\ { \bf{area = {s}^{2} }} \\ = {14}^{2} \\ { \boxed{ \tt{area = 196 \: {cm}^{2} }}}[/tex]
Answer:
A =196 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a square is
P = 4s where s is the side length
56 = 4s
Divide by 4
56/4 = 4s/4
14 =s
The area is given by
A =s^2
A =14^2
A =196 cm^2
