Example Question #20 : How To Find The Perimeter Of Square

The perimeter of a square is 56in.  Find the length of one side.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, we use this formula

where a is the length of one side.  A square has 4 equal sides.  That is why we multiply the length of one side by 4.  To find the length of one side, we will solve for a.

 

Now, we know the perimeter of the square is 56in.  So, we can substitute.  We get

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, the length of one side of the square is 14in.
