Example Question #22 : Plane Geometry
What is the perimeter of a square of area 36?
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 #23 : Plane Geometry
Which of the following is NOT a quadrilateral?
nonagon
parallelogram
rhombus
trapezoid
nonagon
Quadrilaterals have 4 sides. A nonagon has 9 sides.
Example Question #24 : Plane Geometry
What is the perimeter of a square that has a side measuring 3 inches in length?
Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. For a square, .
Therefore, for this square,
Example Question #25 : Plane Geometry
What is the perimeter of a square that has a side measuring 1 inch in length?
Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. For a square,
Therefore, for this square,
Example Question #26 : Plane Geometry
What is the perimeter of the square?
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!
Example Question #27 : Plane Geometry
What is the perimeter of the square?
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!
Example Question #31 : Quadrilaterals
What is the perimeter of the square?
To find the perimeter of a square, add all four sides together. Since each side of a square is the same length, we only need one side's length to figure out the perimeter of a square!
Example Question #32 : Quadrilaterals
What is the perimeter of the square?
To find the perimeter of a square, simply add all four sides together. Since squares always have four equal sides, we only need the length of one side to determine the perimeter!
Example Question #33 : Quadrilaterals
If John draws a square with a side of 7 centimeters, what is the square's perimeter?
To find the perimeter of a square, multiply the side length by 4:
Adding all four sides will produce the same result:
Example Question #34 : Quadrilaterals
Which formula would you use to find the perimeter of a square?
The perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides:
