The diagonal of a square has a length of 10 inches. What is the perimeter of the square in inches squared?
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the edge of a side to be √50, by 2a2=102. This can be reduced to 5√2. This can then be multiplied by 4 to find the perimeter.

A square garden has an area of 64 square feet. If you add 3 feet to each side, what is the new perimeter of the garden?
A square garden has an area of 64 square feet. If you add 3 feet to each side, what is the new perimeter of the garden?
By finding the square root of the area of the garden, you find the length of one side, which is 8. We add 3 feet to this, giving us 11, then multiply this by 4 to get 44 feet for the perimeter.

Find the perimeter of a square with side length of 2.
Find the perimeter of a square with side length of 2.
To solve, simply use the formula for the perimeter of a square. Thus,
If the formula escapes you, simply sum the sides. However, you must know that all the sides in a square are equal in order to add them up. Since they are equal, the formula just shows you that you can multiply one side by 4 instead of adding them all together.

If the area of a square is 12.25 square meters, what is its perimeter?
If the area of a square is 12.25 square meters, what is its perimeter?
The area of a square is found by squaring the length of each side. That means we can figure out the length of the sides by taking the square root of 12.25. 
The length of all 4 sides is 3.5 meters, since this is a square, so the perimeter is

The area of the shaded region of a square is 18. What is the perimeter of the square?
![]()
The area of the shaded region of a square is 18. What is the perimeter of the square?
The area of the shaded region, which covers half of the square is 18 meaning that the total area of the square is 18 x 2, or 36. The area of a square is equal to the length of one side squared. Since the square root of 36 is 6, the length of 1 side is 6. The perimeter is the length of 1 side times 4 or 6 x 4.
