The area of a square slice of cheese is 25 square inches. The perimeter of the slice of cheese is

Answer 1

Answer:

As Per Provided Information

Area of given square slice of cheese is 25 square inches .

We have been asked to determine the perimeter of the slice of cheese .

First we will find the side of square slice of cheese .

Let us assume the side of square slice of cheese be s .

Now Let's Solve

$\boxed{\bf \:Area_{(Square)} = {Side}^{2}}$

Substituting the value and we obtain

$\sf \longrightarrow \: 25 = {s}^{2} \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow \: \sqrt{25} = s \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow \: s \: = 5 \: inch$

So, the side of square slice cheese is 5 inch

Now let's calculate the Perimeter of cheese

$\boxed{\bf \: Perimeter_{(Square)} = 4 \times side}$

Substituting the value we obtain

$\longrightarrow \sf \: Perimeter_{(Square)} = 4 \times 5 \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf \: Perimeter_{(Square)} =20 \: inches$

Therefore,

• Perimeter of square slice of cheese is 20 inches .
