Example Question #61 : Quadrilaterals
Use the following square to solve the problem:
Find the perimeter.
To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:
where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.
Now, given the square
we can see the length is 5cm. Because it is a square, all sides are equal. Therefore, all sides are 5cm. So, we will substitute.
Example Question #62 : Quadrilaterals
The perimeter of a square is 24in. Find the length of one side.
To find the perimeter of a square, we can use the following formula:
where a is the length of one side. Because a square has 4 equal sides, we can take 4 times the length of one side. So, to find the length of one side, we will solve for a.
We know the perimeter of the square is 24in. So, we will substitute. We get
Therefore, the length of one side of the square is 6in.
