Question

Find the area and perimeter of the square 6 meters

Answer 1

AREA

The formula for finding area of a square is:

$length \times width$

In a square, all the sides are the same. Each side is 6 meters long. Plug in 6 to the formula.

$length \times width \rightarrow 6 \times 6$

Multiply:

$6 \times 6 = 36$

The area of the square is 36 m²

PERIMETER

Perimeter is the distance around a shape. To find perimeter, you have to add all all the side lengths. The formula for finding perimeter is:

$2(l) \times 2(w)$

Remember that squares have 4 sides, and all length(s) and width(s) measure the same. The length and width measure the same. Plug in the numbers into the formula:

$2(l) + 2(w) \rightarrow 2(6) + 2(6)$

Simplify:

$2(6) + 2(6) = 12 + 12$

Add:

$12 + 12 = 24$

The perimeter of the square is 24 m
