Question

If a square has the perimeter of 15.2 centimeters, what are 2 equations that can determine the perimeter of the square?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) $P=4s$

2) $P=4\sqrt{A}$

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of the square is equal to

$P=4s$

where

s is the length side of the square

we have

$P=15,2\ cm$

substitute

$15.2=4s$

solve for s

$s=15.2/4=3.8\ cm$

The area of a square is equal to

$A=s^2$

substitute

$A=3.8^2=14.44\ cm^2$

we have that

$s=\sqrt{A}$

therefore

2 equations that can determine the perimeter of the square are

1) $P=4s$ ----> $P=4(3.8)=15.2\ cm$

2) $P=4\sqrt{A}$ ----> $P=4\sqrt{14.44}=15.2\ cm$
