First, you should know that the perimeter is the sum of all sides. Since it's a square, all the sides will be equal, therefore, you can divide the perimeter by four to find the length of each side. Area is base times height, which, in this case are equal. You multiply base by height and you get...:

Since all four sides of a square are equal, the perimeter is:
s + s + s + s = 24
4s = 24
s = 6
Area is length times width or 6 x 6 = 36

If the perimeter of the SQUARE is indeed 24 inches, then it is also true that all four sides have the same measurement.
If you divided 24 by 4, you get the length of a side of the square.
Once you have the length, then calculating the area is simple to figure out since the area is two sides multiplied, or multiply the length by itself.

Easy. Since it is a square, than all sides are equal. Divide 24 by 4 and get 6. 6*6=36

36 inches.
area = length X width. it's a square so each side is 6 in (24/ 4)

36 sq ins
24 divided by 4 (equal sides) =6
area = length times width
6 x 6 =36

well. 24 inches=perimiter.
24 divided by 4(because it has 4 sides)=6
then 6x6=36.
there you go! good luck in math!
