Answer
Name of the figure $=$ square
Perimeter $= 9$ ft
Area $ \approx 5.1$ sq ft
Work Step by Step
1. Name of the figure
Square ($4$ equal sides)
2. Perimeter
Let $P =$ perimeter of the square
$P = 4 \times 2.25$ (Note that $2.25 = 2\frac{1}{4}$)
$P = 9$ ft
3. Area
Let $A =$ area of the square
$A = 2.25 \times 2.25$
$A = 5.0625$ ft$^{2}$
$A \approx 5.1$ ft$^{2}$
