Find the perimeter of a square with a side length of 3sqrt(32) Your answer must be in simplest radical form (1 point ) 12sqrt(128); 16sqrt(3); 12sqrt(32); 48sqrt(2)

1 answer

To find the perimeter of a square, we use the formula:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 4 \times \text{side length} \]

Given the side length of the square is \( 3\sqrt{32} \), we can substitute this value into the formula:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 4 \times (3\sqrt{32}) \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 12\sqrt{32} \]

Next, we need to simplify \( \sqrt{32} \):

\[ \sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16 \times 2} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2} \]

Now, we can substitute back into the perimeter calculation:

\[ \text{Perimeter} = 12\sqrt{32} = 12 \times 4\sqrt{2} = 48\sqrt{2} \]

Thus, the perimeter of the square is:

\[ \boxed{48\sqrt{2}} \]
