STEP BY STEP PLEASE If the perimeter of square 3 is 36 units and the perimeter of square 2 is 48 units, what is the area of square 1?

225

Step-by-step explanation:

length of side in square 3 = 36/4

=9

length of side in square 2 = 48/ 4

= 12

using pythagorus theorem you can find side of square 1

take the triangle between 3 and 2

9^2 + 12^2 = length of side 1^2

81 + 144 = l^2

225 = l^2

l = 15

therefore length of side 1 is 15

area of square 1 = 15^15

area = 225 square units

hope this helped
