Question

I have a question.
can you help me.

The question is, Find the side length of a square that has a permeter of 32cm?

im not understanding the part where it says find the side length.
because to fing the area you need to do width x length.
so how do i get the perimeter?

Answer 1

The perimeter is the measurement around the outside. So adding the 4 sides together equals 32 cm. How long do you think each side is?

Answer 2

thank you,would it be 8cm?

Answer 3

right

Answer 4

i have another question about squares?
the question is,
a square has an area of 81 square feet. what is the length of each side?

i don't really know because it doesn't show the width so i can't do w.l
?? what do i do?

Answer 5

area = length x width

Since a square has equal length and width, obviously all 4 sides are equal.

So ... what x what = 81 ??

Answer 6

i don't know.

my answer would be

81 / 4 = 20.25
??

it doesn't make since though??

Answer 7

No that doesn't make sense.

Area = length x width
No division involved; no addition involved; no subtraction involved. Only multiplication.

___ x ___ = 81
Think back on your multiplication tables.

Answer 8

9 x 9 = 81
silly
=]]

Answer 9

yes!!! 9 x 9

So each side is 9 ft.
