Question

67. Find the perimeter & area:​

Answer 1

Let's find the perimeter and area of this square given this information.

Perimeter

The perimeter of a square is the total length of its four sides. Since all four sides of a square are equal in length, you can find the perimeter by multiplying the length of one side (denoted as "s") by 4.

Perimeter =
`(4)(s)`

Area

The area of a square is the measure of the region enclosed by its four sides. It is calculated by squaring the length of one side (multiplying it by itself).

Area =
`(s)(s)` or
`s^2`

Let's begin by finding the perimeter:

For calculation's sake, we will convert the 1/2 inch to 0.5.

P = 4(s)

P = 4(3.5)

P = 14 in

Now let's calculate the area:

A = s^2

A = (3.5)^2

A = 12.25 in
