Question

a square has a perimeter of 48cm.the square is cut in half . the two halves are put together to make this shape . what is the perimeter of the new shape ?answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The perimeter of a square is calculated by the formula:

P

=

4

a

, where

P

=

perimeter, and

a

=

length of any side, all sides being equal in a square.

From the given data we write:

48

=

4

a

Divide both sides by

4

.

12

=

a

The length of each side is

12cm

Answer 2

Answer:

60cm

Step-by-step explanation:

4s = 48

s= 12

....l = 12+12 = 24

b = 12/2 =6

p = 2 ( l+b )

= 2 ( 24+6)

2 × 30 = 60
