Five congruent squares are put together without gaps or overlap to form a figure shaped like a plus sign. The
perimeter of the figure is 72 cm. Find the area of the figure, in cm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

180 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the five squares are congruent, the 12 sides of the figure are all equal in length. Then the length of one side is 72/12 = 6 cm. Therefore, the area of each square is 36 sq cm and the area of the figure, 5 x 36, is 180 sq cm.
