a) 24 b) 25 c) 36 d) 48 e) 64 Answer by toidayma(44) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of the triangle is: 6.2 + 8.2 + 9.6 = 24(cm) = the perimeter of the square, which means that a size's length of the square is: 24/4 = 6(cm). Therefore, the area of the square is 6*6 = 36(cm2) = answer choice (C).
