Example Question #21 : Geometry

Find the area of the square shown below:

Screen shot 2015 11 03 at 3.19.10 pm

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 20$

$\displaystyle 25$

$\displaystyle 24$

$\displaystyle 5$

$\displaystyle 10$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 25$

Explanation:

A square has sides that are all equal. Area is length times width, and in the case of a square it is the side measurement times itself. $5\times5=25$ $\displaystyle 5\times5=25$

Example Question #22 : Geometry

Use the following to answer the question.

Square2

Find the area of the square.

Possible Answers:

$28\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 28\text{in}^2$

$49\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 49\text{in}^2$

$28\text{in}$ $\displaystyle 28\text{in}$

$49\text{in}$ $\displaystyle 49\text{in}$

$\text{There is not enough information to find the area.}$ $\displaystyle \text{There is not enough information to find the area.}$

Correct answer:

$49\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 49\text{in}^2$

Explanation:

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

$\text{area of square} = l \cdot w$ $\displaystyle \text{area of square} = l \cdot w$

where l is the width and w is the width of the square.

If we look at the square

Square2

we can see the width is 7in. Because it is a square, we know that all sides are equal. Therefore, the length is also 7in. Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula. We get

$\text{area of square} = 7\text{in} \cdot 7\text{in}$ $\displaystyle \text{area of square} = 7\text{in} \cdot 7\text{in}$

$\text{area of square} = 49\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle \text{area of square} = 49\text{in}^2$

Example Question #21 : Geometry

Use the following square to answer the question:

Square4

Find the area.

Possible Answers:

$8\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 8\text{in}^2$

$4\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 4\text{in}^2$

$2\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 2\text{in}^2$

$10\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 10\text{in}^2$

$6\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 6\text{in}^2$

Correct answer:

$4\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle 4\text{in}^2$

Explanation:

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

$\text{area of square} = l \cdot w$ $\displaystyle \text{area of square} = l \cdot w$

where l is the length and w is the width of the square.

Now, let's look at the square.

Square4

We can see the width of the square is 2in. Because it is a square, all sides are equal. Therefore, the length is also 2in.

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

$\text{area of square} = 2\text{in} \cdot 2\text{in}$ $\displaystyle \text{area of square} = 2\text{in} \cdot 2\text{in}$

$\text{area of square} = 4\text{in}^2$ $\displaystyle \text{area of square} = 4\text{in}^2$

Example Question #23 : Squares

Use the following square to solve the problem:

Square1

Find the area.

Possible Answers:

$10\text{cm}^2$ $\displaystyle 10\text{cm}^2$

$20\text{cm}^2$ $\displaystyle 20\text{cm}^2$

$15\text{cm}^2$ $\displaystyle 15\text{cm}^2$

$\text{There is not enough information to solve the problem.}$ $\displaystyle \text{There is not enough information to solve the problem.}$

$25\text{cm}^2$ $\displaystyle 25\text{cm}^2$

Correct answer:

$25\text{cm}^2$ $\displaystyle 25\text{cm}^2$

Explanation:

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

$A = l \cdot w$ $\displaystyle A = l \cdot w$

where l is the length and w is the width of the square.

Now, given the square

Square1

we can see the length is 5cm. Because it is a square, all sides are equal. Therefore, the width is also 5cm. So, we can substitute

$A = 5\text{cm} \cdot 5\text{cm}$ $\displaystyle A = 5\text{cm} \cdot 5\text{cm}$

$A = 25\text{cm}^2$ $\displaystyle A = 25\text{cm}^2$

Example Question #21 : Geometry

What is the perimeter of a square of area 36?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 18$

$\displaystyle 36$

$\displaystyle 12$

$\displaystyle 6$

$\displaystyle 24$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 24$

Explanation:

The area of a square is the square of the length of its side (all sides are equal in a square). If the area is 36, then the length of each side is 6.

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of its side. Therefore, 4 times 6 is 24.

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square

What is the perimeter of a square that has a side measuring 3 inches in length?

Possible Answers:

$12\ in$ $\displaystyle 12\ in$

$9\ in$ $\displaystyle 9\ in$

$6\ in$ $\displaystyle 6\ in$

$3\ in$ $\displaystyle 3\ in$

Correct answer:

$12\ in$ $\displaystyle 12\ in$

Explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. For a square, $perimeter=side+side+side+side= 4\times side$ $\displaystyle perimeter=side+side+side+side= 4\times side$ .

Therefore, for this square,

$perimeter=4\times 3\:in=12\:in.$ $\displaystyle perimeter=4\times 3\:in=12\:in.$

Example Question #3 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square

What is the perimeter of a square that has a side measuring 1 inch in length?

Possible Answers:

$1\ inch$ $\displaystyle 1\ inch$

$4\ inches$ $\displaystyle 4\ inches$

$2\ inches$ $\displaystyle 2\ inches$

$3\ inches$ $\displaystyle 3\ inches$

Correct answer:

$4\ inches$ $\displaystyle 4\ inches$

Explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. For a square, $perimeter=side+side+side+side=4 \times side.$ $\displaystyle perimeter=side+side+side+side=4 \times side.$

Therefore, for this square,

$perimeter= 4 \times 1\:inch=4\:inches.$ $\displaystyle perimeter= 4 \times 1\:inch=4\:inches.$

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square

Screen_shot_2014-01-11_at_1.40.18_pm

What is the perimeter of the square?

Possible Answers:

144 $\displaystyle 144$

101 $\displaystyle 101$

121 $\displaystyle 121$

$\displaystyle 88$

$\displaystyle 44$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 44$

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of this square, add all four sides together. Even though we are only given one side's length, every side of a square always has the same length!

$11 + 11 + 11 + 11 = \mathbf{44}$ $\displaystyle 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 = \mathbf{44}$

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square

Screen_shot_2014-02-20_at_9.16.17_pm

What is the perimeter of the square?

Possible Answers:

$\displaystyle 14$

$\displaystyle 77$

$\displaystyle 70$

$\displaystyle 28$

$\displaystyle 49$

Correct answer:

$\displaystyle 28$

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, simply add all four sides together. Even though we are only given one side's length, squares always have four, equal sides!

$\displaystyle 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 28$
