In your problem, the perimeter is 54 inches. Therefore, with four equal sides, each side is 13.5 inches. ( NOTE: 13.5 inches X 4 sides = 54 inches ) Now you can find the area of the square. The area of a square is your 2 sides multiplied together!!  13.5 inches X 13.5 inches = 182.25 square inches. i hope this helps you!! Your math friend, Terry ( cats7051@yahoo.com )  </SPAN>\n" );
