Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra
Find the perimeter of a square with a side of 4 meters.
Since each side in a square is equal, and perimeter involves adding up all of the sides, multiply 4 by 4 to get 16 meters.
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra
What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of ?
To find the perimeter of a square you must multiply the side length by .
To do this we plug the side length into the equation
Multiply the side length, , by
to get the answer
.
Example Question #3 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra
What is the perimeter of the square with a side length of ?
There is insufficient information to solve.
The way to find the perimeter of a square is to add up the lengths of all the sides. Since this is a square, each side will have the same length; if one of the sides is , the other sides will be 8 as well.
From here:
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra
What is the perimeter of a square if one side is ?
We need to know the lengths of the other sides in order to be able to solve.
Each of the sides of a square is equal. This means we can take the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, , and say that, for a square,
.
Since the problem gives us the length of the side, we can solve:
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra
If the perimeter of a square is , what is the length of each side?
There is insufficient information to solve
Each of the sides of a square is equal. We can take the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, , and say that for a square,
, or
.
The problem gives us the perimeter so we can solve:
Divide both sides by :
