6) A square patio has a perimeter of 40 ft. Its area is

80 ft²

100 ft²

200 ft²

400 ft²

To find the area of the square, first calculate the side length from the perimeter. The perimeter is 4 times the side length, so the side length is 40 ft / 4 = 10 ft. The area is then the side length squared, which is 10 ft × 10 ft = 100 ft².
