A new building in New York City will have a footprint that is a perfect square, taking up a complete city block. If one city block is of a mile, what is the perimeter of the building?

To find the perimeter of a square, we need to multiply the side length by 4.

Our side length is  mile, so do the following to find our answer:

So the perimeter is 

To find the perimeter of a square, we use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of each side. 

Now, we know that a square has equal sides.  So given the square

we know that each side equals 6ft.  So, we can use this to substitute into the formula.  We get

To find the perimeter of a square, we use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.  

Now, we know the width of the square is 8 inches.  Because it is a square, we know all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 8 inches.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

You are playing Monopoly and notice that the dice is a cube. If the dice has a height of 2 centimeters, what is the perimeter of one of its surfaces?

Begin by realizing that we need to find the perimeter of a square.

Next, recall that the height of a cube is the same as its length and width. In other words, one surface of a cube will be a square with sides equal to the height of the cube.

Armed with this knowledge, we can find the perimeter of the square.

So our answer is 8cm

A square stamp has an edge length of 6 centimeters, what is its perimeter?

To find the perimeter of a square, we simply can multiply the edge length by 4.

Doing so yields:

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of each side of the square.

Now, we know the base has a length of 9 inches.  Because it is a square, we know that all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 9 inches.  Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

A city block is a perfect square with sides of .

What is the perimeter of the city block?

To find the perimeter of a square, simply multiply the side length by 4:

So our answer is 2 miles

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.

Now, we know the length of the square is 7in.  Because it is a square, we know all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 7in.

Knowing all of this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.

Now, let's look at the given square.

We can see that one side is 8cm.  Because it is a square, all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 8cm.  

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.

Now, we know the length of the square is 9cm.  Because it is a square, all of the sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 9cm.

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get
