A square baking pan has an area of 64 square inches. What is the width and the perimeter of the pan?

1 answer

The length and width of the square baking pan are the same, so if the area is 64 square inches, then each side is the square root of 64, which is 8 inches.

Therefore, the width of the pan is 8 inches.

Since all sides of a square are equal, the perimeter of the pan is 4 times the width, which is:

4 * 8 inches = 32 inches

So, the perimeter of the pan is 32 inches.
