Tap to reveal answer

Answer

The perimeter of a figure is the sum of the lengths of its sides. A square comprises four sides of equal length, so, if the perimeter of the square is 24 feet, then each side has length

feet.

The area of the square is equal to the length of a side multiplied by itself, so the area of this square is

square feet.
