A square is 1200cm long. There is a 10cm wide strip around the square. The area of the strip is?

Answer: 48400 cm²
Explanation

Given:

Side of square = 1200 cm

Width of strip = 10 cm

Side of larger square (including strip) = 1200 + 2(10)

= 1200 + 20

= 1220 cm

Area of larger square = 1220² = 1488400 cm²

Area of square = 1200² = 1440000 cm²

Area of strip = Area of larger square - Area of square

= 1488400 - 1440000

= 48400 cm²
