Question

If the length of one side of a square is 12.0 m, what is the perimeter of the square? Express the perimeter with the appropriate units

Answer 1

The perimeter of a square whose length is 12.0 m is 48 cm.

Further Explanation

Area

• Area is a measure of how much space is occupied by a given shape.
• Area of a substance is determined by the type of shape in question.

For example;

• Area of a rectangle is given by; Length multiplied by width
• Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
• Area of a circle = πr². where r is the radius of a circle,
• Area of a square = S², Where s is the side of the square.etc.

Perimeter

• Perimeter is defined as the distance along a two dimension shape.  Perimeter of different shapes is given by different formulas

For example;

• The perimeter of a rectangle = 2(length+width)
• The perimeter of a triangle = a+b+c; where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle. etc.

In this case;

We are given one side of a square as 12.0 cm

But Perimeter of a square is given by; 4 × s

Thus; Perimeter = 4 × 12 units

                           = 48 units
