Example Question #20 : How To Find The Perimeter Of Square

The perimeter of a square is 56in.  Find the length of one side.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, we use this formula

where a is the length of one side.  A square has 4 equal sides.  That is why we multiply the length of one side by 4.  To find the length of one side, we will solve for a.

 

Now, we know the perimeter of the square is 56in.  So, we can substitute.  We get

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore, the length of one side of the square is 14in.

Example Question #111 : Geometry

Find the perimeter of a square with a width of 9in.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.

 

Now, we know the width of the square is 9in.  Because it is a square, all sides are equal. Therefore, all sides are 9in.  So, we can substitute. 

 

Example Question #112 : Plane Geometry

Find the perimeter of a square with a width of 9cm.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.

 

Now, we know the width of the square is 9cm.  Because it is a square, all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 9cm.  So, we can substitute.  We get

Example Question #21 : Quadrilaterals

Find the perimeter of a square with a length of 6in.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.

 

Now, we know the length of the square is 6in.  Because it is a square, all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 6in.  So, we can substitute.  We get

Example Question #21 : Squares

Find the perimeter of a square with a length of 14cm.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.

 

Now, we know the width of the square is 14cm.  Because it is a square, all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 14cm.  So, we get

Example Question #121 : Plane Geometry

Find the perimeter of a square that has a length of 13in.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, we will use the following formula:

where a, b, c, and d are the lengths of the sides of the square.

 

Now, we know the length of the square is 13in.  Because it is a square, all sides are equal.  Therefore, all sides are 13in. 

Knowing this, we can substitute into the formula.  We get

Example Question #1 : How To Find The Area Of A Square

Which of the following is equal to the area of a square with perimeter 8 meters?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The sidelength of a square is one-fourth its perimeter, so the sidelength here is one-fourth of 8, or 2, meters. One meter is equal to 100 centimeters, so the sidelength is 200 centimeters. Square this to get the area:

 square centimeters.

Example Question #2 : How To Find The Area Of A Square

Which of the following is the area of a square with perimeter 7 feet?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Convert  7 feet to inches by multiplying by 12:  inches.

The sidelength of a square is one-fourth its perimeter, so the sidelength here is one-fourth of 84 inches. This is  inches.

Square this to get the area:

 square inches

Example Question #121 : Plane Geometry

What is the area of a square with a side length of 4?

Possible Answers:

16

12

4

14

8

Correct answer:

16

Explanation:

The area of a square is represented by the equation \dpi{100} Area = side^{2}.

Therefore the area of this square is \dpi{100} 4^{2}=16.

Example Question #122 : Plane Geometry

Square A has sides measuring 5 meters.  A second square, Square B, has sides that are 2 meters longer than the sides of Square A.  What is the difference in area of Square A and Square B?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The area of Square A is 5 * 5, or 25 m2.  

Since each of Square B's sides is 2 meters longer, the sides measure 7 meters. Therefore, the area of square B is 49 m2.  

Subtract to find the difference in areas:
