Example Question #2 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra

What is the perimeter of a square if one side is ?

Possible Answers:

We need to know the lengths of the other sides in order to be able to solve.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Each of the sides of a square is equal. This means we can take the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, P=l+l+w+w , and say that, for a square, P=s+s+s+s .

Since the problem gives us the length of the side, we can solve:

P=s+s+s+s

P=2+2+2+2

P=8

Example Question #5 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra

If the perimeter of a square is , what is the length of each side?

Possible Answers:

There is insufficient information to solve

$\sqrt{48}$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Each of the sides of a square is equal. We can take the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, P=l+l+w+w , and say that for a square, P=s+s+s+s , or P=4s .

The problem gives us the perimeter so we can solve:

P=4s

48=4s

Divide both sides by :

$\frac{48}{4}=s$

12=s

Example Question #6 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra

If the perimeter of a square is , what is the side length?

Possible Answers:

$1\tfrac{1}{2}$

$3\tfrac{1}{2}$

$1\tfrac{1}{4}$

Correct answer:

$1\tfrac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

The formula for the perimeter of a square is P=4s .

Plug in our given information.

P=4s

6=4s

$\frac{6}{4} =s$

$\frac{6}{4}=s$ $\frac{3}{2}=s$

$1\tfrac{1}{2}=s$

Example Question #8 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of ?

Possible Answers:

P=75

P=45

P=60

P=30

Correct answer:

P=60

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, you must multiply the side length by .

To do this we plug the side length into the equation Perimeter=4(Side) .

Then multiply the side length by .

P=4(15)

The answer is P=60 .

Example Question #632 : High School Math

The perimeter of a square is . What is the length of each side?

Possible Answers:

144

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of each of the sides of the shape. Since this is a square, all the sides will be equal. Therefore, the formula for the perimeter of a square is P=s+s+s+ s .

Plug in our given information to solve:

12=s+s+s+s

Since we have four 's, we can combine like terms:

12=4s

Now divide by :

$\frac{12}{4}=s$

3=s

Example Question #4 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of ?

Possible Answers:

P=14

P=21

P=28

P=16

Correct answer:

P=28

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square you must multiply the side length by .

To do this we plug the side length into the equation

Then multiply the side length by ,

P=4(7)

The answer is P=28 .

Possible Answers:

P=32

P=36

P=8

P=16

Correct answer:

P=32

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square you must multiply the side length by .

To do this we plug the side length, , into the equation

Then multiply the side length by ,

P=4(8)

The answer is P=32 .

Example Question #11 : How To Find The Perimeter Of A Square In Pre Algebra

One side of a square is inches long. What is the perimeter of the square?

Possible Answers:

inches

Correct answer:

inches

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is the sum of all of the sides of the square. In this case, each side is inches long. Since a square has four equal sides, we get a perimeter of 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12 inches.

Example Question #12 : Perimeter Of A Figure

What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of ?

Possible Answers:

144

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a polygon, add the lengths of all sides together. For a square, since all side lengths are the same. simply multiply the side length by the number of sides.

$Perimeter=12\cdot4$

Perimeter=48
