The perimeter and area of a shape do not provide sufficient information. With a given perimeter, the largest area that you can enclose is a circle, but you can then flatten the circle to reduce its area. Similarly, in terms a of quadrilaterals, a square has the largest area, but it can be flexed into a rhombus whose area can be made as small as you like. All that can be said is that there is no shape with a perimeter of 12 units whose area is 12 square units.
Yes. The length of a room times width of a room equals the area of the room. For instance, a room measuring 24 feet by 12 feet equals 288 square feet. (24 times 12 equals 288, which is the square feet)
The area of square is : 144.0
To convert linear centimeters to square centimeters, you need to square the linear measurement. In this case, 12 centimeters squared would equal 144 square centimeters. This is because area is a two-dimensional measurement, so you need to consider both the length and width of the shape.
To get the area of a square (including rectangles), multiply side (12) x side (9), which equals 108 inches.
