Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths of the shape. Since a square has equal side lengths, each side must be the same. Divide 52/4=13cm. 13cm is the length of 1 side. Area is length times width, and since each side is 13, multiply 13cm*13cm to get the area, which is

Answer:
169cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it’s a square both of the lengths of the different sides are the same. (A square has 4 sides, therefore we can form an equation : 4x=52)
When you solve for x which determined the length of one single side (x=52/4) and you get 13.
Using the formula for the area of a square a^2
with a being 13, this means the area is 13^2= 169
