The formula for perimeter is length + length + width + width

You know that all the sides of a square are equal to each other. That means that all the values in the perimeter formula should be the same. Therefore you can divide 72 by 4 (perimeter divided by the number of sides)

72 / 4 = 18

^^^Each side is 18 in

The formula for are is...

A = length x width

so...

18 * 18 = 324

324 in^2

Hope this helped!
