You need to know the length and width first. Since it is a square then the sides are equal.
Therefore,
P=2L+2W
10n=4s
s=10n/4 or 5/2 n
The length of one side is 5/2 n.
The area is
A=s^2
A=(5/2 n)^2
=25/4 n^2

For a square,
P=4s=10n
s=%285n%29%2F2units
The area of a square is,
A=s%5E2=%28%285n%29%2F2%29%5E2=%2825n%5E2%29%2F4sq.units
