A square is 15 cm long and 9 cm wide. The perimeter of the square is equal to that of a square. What is the area of the square

The problem is wrong, it should be
A rectangle is 15 cm long and 9 cm wide. Its circumference is equal to that of a square
Circumference of rectangle = 15 * 2 + 9 * 2 = 48
The perimeter of a square is 48, the side length is 48 / 4, and the side length is 12
Square area = 12 * 12 = 144 square centimeters
