P = 4S
S = P/4

A = S^2 = ( P/4)^2 = P^2 / 16

Hence, E.

Let's assume that the side of the square is 2
Then P=4*2=8
Area=$$2^2$$=4

$$\frac{p^2}{16}$$=$$\frac{8^2}{16}$$=4

Perimeter of square = the sum of all the sides

length of a side of the square = p /4

Area of the square = $$(p / 4)^2 = p^2 / 16$$

Sides of the Square are $$\frac{P}{4}$$

Area of the Square is $$(\frac{P}{4})^2$$ = $$(\frac{P^2}{16})$$, Answer must be (E)
