Question

(a) A square has a perimeter of 60m. What is the length of each side.

(b) A square has an area of 49cm2 . What is the length of each sid

Answer 1

a) Each side is 15 meters

Answer 2

a. 15m

b. 7m

Explanation:

• perimeter is the sides added up, there are four sides of a square, and all sides are equal
• equation s+s+s+s or s•4 (s=sides)
• so to find the length with the perimeter divide perimeter by 4
• 60/4=15

• the area of a square is s²
• so take the square root of the area
• √49=7
