Answer:
Side is 8 meters, Perimeter is 32 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>One side </em>
Squares have 4 equal sides. Area is found using l*w, but the sides are all equal in squares. Therefore, the area can be found using:
a=s^2
We know the area is 64, so we can substitute that in
64=s^2
Take the square root of both sides
8=s
One side is 8 meters
<em>Perimeter</em>
Squares have 4 equal sides, and the perimeter is all the sides added up.
p=s+s+s+s
We know the side is 8, so we can substitute that in
p=8+8+8+8
p=4*8
p= 32
The perimeter is 32 meters
