Question

Heather is putting together a square

bulletin board for her new room, and
the area of the bulletin board is
196cm squared. What is the total
distance around the bulletin board?
(perimeter)

Answer 1

392 cm

Explanation:

Since your trying to find the perimeter of the bulletin board by using the area, you should:

1. Divide the area by 2. 196 divided by 2 = 98 (which is the length of one side)
2. Now add 98 four times to get your answer. 392.
