Madhya Pradesh Police Exam Model Paper 9

Given:
The perimeter of the square = 68 m
Formula Used:
Area of the square $={\mathit{a}}^2$
The perimeter of the square$=4\times \mathit{a}$
Where a = side of the square
Calculation:
The perimeter of the square $=68$
$\Rightarrow 4\times \mathit{a}=68$
$\Rightarrow \mathit{a}=68/4$
$\Rightarrow \mathit{a}=17\mathit{m}$
The area of the square $={\mathit{a}}^2$
$\Rightarrow {\left(17\right)}^2$
$\Rightarrow 289{\mathit{m}}^2$
∴ The area of the square is $289{\mathit{m}}^{2.}$
