Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The apothem of the square is four time lower than the area squared. Thus, to do this, we must use the formula A = s^2
Using this, we do A = s^2, and replace s for 12. Doing exponents first following order of operations (PEMDAS), we get 144. Now, that's only one side of the square. Since the square is 4 sides, we must multiply by four. Thus, your answer is (144 * 4) = 576 cm^2.
Answer: 576 cm squared.
