What is the perimeter of a square of area 36?
What is the perimeter of a square of area 36?
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.

A square has an area of 49 square units. What is its perimeter?
A square has an area of 49 square units. What is its perimeter?
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.

What is the PERIMETER of the square in the figure?
What is the PERIMETER of the square in the figure?
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:
