The area of the square is 256 centimeter square.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The square is made up of 4 identical rectangles. The perimeter of each rectangle is 40 cm.

To find : What is the area of the square?

Solution :

4 identical rectangle having perimeter of 40 cm.

i.e.

....(1)

Total width of the square form is b+b+b+b=4b

In square the side length is given by a=4b

Substitute in (1),

i.e. a=4(4)=16

The length of the square is given by l=16

The area of the square is

Therefore, The area of the square is 256 centimeter square.
