The perimeter of the square is $26$ inches and the area of the square is $42.25$ inches squared.

The formula for the perimeter of a square with side length $s$ is $4 * s$

The formula for the area of a square with side length $s$ is $s^2$ .

Using the formula for perimeter, the perimeter of the square is $4 * "6.5 in"$ . This gives the perimeter of $26$ inches.

Using the formula for area, the area of the square is $("6.5 in")^2$ , which gives us the area to be $42.25$ inches squared.
