Step-by-step explanation:
so, if I understand this correctly, the original square had a side length of 8 m.
now we transform this square into one with side length 1/4×8 = 8/4 = 2 m.
and the questions are what are the perimeter and the area of that new (smaller) square ?
the perimeter of a square is
4× side length = 4×2 = 8 m
the area of a square is
side length ² = 2² = 4 m²
