How to find the perimeter of a square - SSAT Elementary Level Quantitative

A pentagon has sides.

A hexagon has angles.

A square has sides.

The perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides:

To find the perimeter of a square, multiply the side length by 4:

Adding all four sides will produce the same result:

The area of a square is the square of the length of its side (all sides are equal in a square). If the area is 36, then the length of each side is 6.

The perimeter of a square is 4 times the length of its side. Therefore, 4 times 6 is 24.

The area of a square is the side length squared.

We can find this number by taking the square root of 49.

Therefore, the length of each side is 7 units.

The perimeter of a square is the sum of the lengths of the sides. There are 4 sides, each with a length of 7.

The perimeter is 28 units.

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. For a square, .

Therefore, for this square,

Perimeter is the sum of all the sides. For a square,

Therefore, for this square,

A square has four equal sides. Perimeter is the sum of these four sides. Therefore,

.

Quadrilaterals have 4 sides. A nonagon has 9 sides.

To find the perimeter of this square, add all four sides together. Even though we are only given one side's length, every side of a square always has the same length!

Because the problem asks you to find the perimeter, you are looking for the total distance around the outside of the shape. The problem also tells you that the figure is a square, so you know that all the sides are 10 cm. Adding all four sides gives the perimeter:

To find the perimeter of a square, simply add all four sides together. Even though we are only given one side's length, squares always have four, equal sides!

To find the perimeter of a square, add all four sides together. Since each side of a square is the same length, we only need one side's length to figure out the perimeter of a square!

To find the perimeter of a square, simply add all four sides together. Since squares always have four equal sides, we only need the length of one side to determine the perimeter!

Since all four sides of a square have the same length, we can multiply the length by to find the perimeter:

Plug in the perimeter and solve for the unkown length:

To find the perimeter of the square, add all four sides together. Even though we are not given the length of all four sides, we know each side is the same length because all squares have four equal sides.

Write the formula for the area of a square and substitute the area. The side length is needed to find the perimeter.

There are sides in a square.
