To find the perimeter of the square rug, we first need to calculate the length of each side of the square.
Since the area of the square rug is 81 square feet, we can determine that each side of the rug is equal to the square root of 81.
√81 = 9
Therefore, each side of the square rug is 9 feet long.
Since a square has all four sides equal in length, the perimeter of the square rug is:
Perimeter = 4 x side length
Perimeter = 4 x 9
Perimeter = 36
The perimeter of the square shaped rug is 36 feet.
The area of a square shaped rug is 81 square feet. If the rug is 9 feet long, what is the perimeter?
