Question

A square piece of paper has a side measure of 6 inches. What is the perimeter of the paper?

Answer 1

Answer:24

Explanation:

There are four sides each 6 inches long so 6+6+6+6 = 24 is the total distance around the edge of the paper

As a shortcut, 4*6 = 24 since multiplication is just repeated addition

Either way, the answer is 24
