C Correct answer
Explanation

The perimeter of a square is 4 * side. Given 4 * side = 60, the side length is 15 cm. The area is side squared, which is 15 * 15 = 225 sq. cm.

AI explanation

Since the perimeter of a square is four times its side, the side length is sixty centimeters divided by four, which is fifteen centimeters. The area of a square is the side length squared, so the area is fifteen centimeters times fifteen centimeters, equaling two hundred twenty five square centimeters.
