If the perimeter is 12, the length of one side must be 12 times 1/4, which is 4. The area of the square is equal to the length of one side squared (which is length times width), which, in this case, is:

42 = 4 * 4 = 16 square units

The above would be true if 12 times 1/4 was 4, but it isn't, it's 3.

Perimeter = length of side x 4. 3 X 4 = 12. The area of a square is length of side squared = 3 X 3 = 9 square units
