To find the perimeter of a square when given the area, we first need to calculate the length of one side of the square using the formula for the area of a square:
Area = side^2
Substitute the given area of 27 square feet:
27 = side^2
Solve for the side length:
side = √27
side ≈ 5.20 feet
Now that we have the side length, we can calculate the perimeter of the square by multiplying the side length by 4 (since all sides of a square are equal):
Perimeter = 4 * side
Perimeter = 4 * 5.20 feet
Perimeter = 20.80 feet
Therefore, the perimeter of the square with an area of 27 square feet is 20.80 feet.
if the area of a square is 27 square feet what is the perimeter
