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.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
