What are the perimeter and area of a square with side length of 12 in.?
A. P = 24 in., A = 24 in.2
B. P = 144 in., A = 48 in.2
C. P = 24 in., A = 144 in.2
D. P = 48 in., A = 144 in.2
The correct answer is D.
Perimeter of a square = 4 x side length
So, the perimeter of the given square = 4 x 12 in. = 48 in.
Area of a square = side length x side length
So, the area of the given square = 12 in. x 12 in. = 144 in.²
