Question

Three identical squares are placed side by side to form a rectangle with a perimeter of 104 inches. What is the area, in square inches, of each square?​

Answer 1

Answer: 169 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If the squares are placed side by side, then their perimeter will equal 8x, x being the length of one side

If we set that equal to the perimeter, we get 104=8x, and x=13

So 13 is the length of one side, and A=l x w so A=169 square cm
