a square has four equal sides
if the perimeter is 24 feet than each side must equal 6 ft.
area = s^2 ( s is the measure of one side of the square)
so the area is 36 feet squared.

A square has four equal-lengthed sides.
Let the side's length be s.
4s = 24 feet, because the perimeter is 4 lots of one side
s = 6 feet (divide both sides by 4)
area is width times length
which in this case is s à s
which is 36 square feet.

area of square of perimeter p = (1/16)*p^2
area of square of perimeter 24 ft = (1/16)(24ft)^2 = 36 ft^2

perimeter of square = 4s since it has equal sides ( s is sides)
area = s * s
P = 4s, A = s*s
P = 24 ft
P = 24 = 4s
do a little algebra
s = 24/4
s = 6 ft
A = s*s
A = 6 * 6 = 36 sq.ft.
