A rectangle is formed by placing two identical squares side by side
The perimeter of the rectangle is 60 cm.
What is the total area of the squares?

200

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 2 squares next to eachother with the same area, then their perimeter is 6*sidelength.

60 = 6*sidelength

10 = sidelength

Square the sidelength to find the area of the square. 10^2 = 100

Multiply that by 2 to find the area of the rectangle. 100*2 =

200
