    What is the area of a square?

    I. The measure of diagonal of the square is given.

    II. The measure of one side of the square is given.

    III. The perimeter of the square is given.

    A Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Any one of the three Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the diagonal of a square be ‘d’. Diagonal of a square = √2 a d = √2 a a = d/√2 Area of a square = (d/√2)² From II, Let the sides of a square be ‘a’. Area of a square = (side)² = a² From III, Let the perimeter = 4 × side P = 4a a = P/4 Area of a square = (P/4)²
