you take the given perimeter, divide it by four (because a square has four sides, equal in length), and whatever number you get, you multiply by itself (because to find the area of a square you multiply length by width, or in other words, square the length of the side). for example: the perimeter is 24. 24 divided by 4 is 6. 6 x 6=36.
In the case of a rectangle, you would maximize the area given the perimeter by making the dimensions equal. In other words, you would make the rectangle into a square. However, to truly maximize the area, you would make the perimeter a perfect circle.

Length is a one-dimensional quantity, area is a two-dimensional quantity, and volume is a three-dimensional quantity. Length is defined in terms of linear units, feet (ft) and meters (m), for example. Area is defined in terms of square units, such as square feet (sq ft or ft2) or square meters (sq m or m2). Volume is defined in terms of cubic units, such as cubic feet (cu ft or ft3) or cubic meters (just m3). By the way, saying that a surface has an area of 100 square feet (sq ft) is the same as saying it has an area of 100 feet squared (ft3). Note that there are other units of area that don't involve the words square or squared. Some examples are acre, are, and hectare. The last two are metric units. Also note that there are units of volume that don't involve cubic units. Some examples are ounce, pint, quart, gallon, milliliter, and liter. Some people refer to those units as units of "capacity," but they are essentially units of volume.
You use the definition of "perimeter". In other words, you add up the lengths of the three sides.
The units of square inches can be written in two different ways:As the (abbreviated) unit (in) squared: in²As an abbreviation of each of the words of square inches: sq.in

In general, the perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of the length of its sides. If a square has sides of length s, it's perimeter is equal to s + s + s + s. In other words, P = 4s. Rearranging this equation we get s = P/4, so the length of any side of a square is equal to one fourth of the square's perimeter. For example, if the perimeter is 32, the equation becomes s = 32/4 32 divided by 4 equals = 8 so if the perimeter of a square is 32, it has sides of length 8.

Perimeter and Peri-gramPeriscopePeritoneum.
The perimeter of a square with an area of 40,000 is 800. Each side contains a value of 200. 200 X 200 = 40,000 (base X height). Here's why: We know that the area of square is calculated by squaring the length of the side. In other words, A = s2. Therefore, if we know the area, we can calculate the length of each side by finding the square root of the area. In this case, SQRT(40,000) = 200. So, the square in question has four sides with a length of 200. The perimeter of the square is the sum of the lengths of the sides. For a square, P = 4s, which is 4 x 200 = 800.
Well, well, well, look who's trying to test my math skills! If a square has an area of 10000 square meters, then each side measures 100 meters. To find the perimeter, you just add up all four sides, which gives you a grand total of 400 meters. Voila!
