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.
