Example Questions
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:
Example Question #35 : Quadrilaterals
A square has an area of 49 square units. What is its perimeter?
The area of a square is the side length squared.
We can find this number by taking the square root of 49.
Therefore, the length of each side is 7 units.
The perimeter of a square is the sum of the lengths of the sides. There are 4 sides, each with a length of 7.
The perimeter is 28 units.
Example Question #36 : Quadrilaterals
What is the perimeter of the above square?
To find the perimeter of the square, add all four sides together. Even though we are not given the length of all four sides, we know each side is the same length because all squares have four equal sides.
Example Question #36 : Squares
If the area of a square is 
Write the formula for the area of a square and substitute the area. The side length is needed to find the perimeter.
There are 
Example Question #37 : Quadrilaterals
The perimeter of a square is 
A square has four equal sides. Perimeter is the sum of these four sides. Therefore,
Example Question #38 : Squares
What is the PERIMETER of the square in the figure?
Because the problem asks you to find the perimeter, you are looking for the total distance around the outside of the shape. The problem also tells you that the figure is a square, so you know that all the sides are 10 cm. Adding all four sides gives the perimeter:
Example Question #38 : Plane Geometry
If the perimeter of a square is 
Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
Since all four sides of a square have the same length, we can multiply the length by 
Plug in the perimeter and solve for the unkown length:
