Find the area of a square if the perimeter is 48 cm.
- A.
  
  144 square centimeters
- B.
  
  12 square centimeters
- C.
  
  36 square centimeters
- D.
  
  64 square centimeters
- E.
  
  Not enough information
Correct Answer
A. 144 square centimeters

Explanation
The perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides. In this case, the perimeter is given as 48 cm. Since a square has all sides equal in length, we can divide the perimeter by 4 to find the length of one side. 48 cm divided by 4 is 12 cm. The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. Therefore, the area of the square is 12 cm multiplied by 12 cm, which equals 144 square centimeters.

- B.
  
  5
- C.
  
  625
- D.
  
  100
- E.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
B. 5

Explanation
The area of a square is calculated by multiplying the length of one side by itself. In this case, the area is given as 25 square units. To find the length of one side, we need to find the square root of the area. The square root of 25 is 5, so the length of one side of the square is 5 units.

- C.
  
  5
- D.
  
  1280
- E.
  
  640
Correct Answer
C. 5

Explanation
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length is given as 16 units and the area is given as 80 square units. To find the width, we can divide the area by the length: 80 / 16 = 5. Therefore, the width of the rectangle is 5 units.
