send me step by step solution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step by step
Let x be the square side measure.
Then the perimeter of each of the rectangles is 3x (which is obvious).
From the problem, we have this equation
3x = 36,
from which we find x = 36/3 = 12.
Therefore, the area of the original square is 12*12 = 12^2 = 144 square units.
Thus the problem is solved completely, in the step by step manner.
The answer in the post by @lynnlo is incorrect.
Simply ignore his post.
