Question

A square has sides that measure 6 inches each. What is the ratio of the perimeter of the square to the area of the square?

Answer 1

2 : 3

Explanation:

Given the square has a side of 6 in , then

perimeter = 4 × 6 = 24 in

area = 6² = 36 in²

Then ratio of perimeter : area

= 24 : 36 ( divide both parts by 12 )

= 2 : 3
