Question

The perimeter of a square garden is 40 1/5 meters. What is the length of one side?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the square ABCD

= AB + BC + CD + AD

= 2 cm + 2 cm + 2 cm + 2 cm

= (2 × 4) cm

= 8 cm

Perimeter of a square is 4 times of s side.

Perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side.

Let us consider some of the examples on perimeter of a square:

Examples on Perimeter of a Square

1. Each side of a square is 2.5 cm. Find its perimeter.

Solution:

Side = 2.5 cm

Therefore, perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side

= (4 × 2.5) cm

= 10 cm

2. A rope of length 96 m was used to fence a square garden. What is the length of the side of the garden?

Solution:

Perimeter of the garden = Length of the rope = 96 m

We know that perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side

So, 4 × length of a side = 96 m

Length of a side = 964 m = 24 m

Therefore, length of the one side of the square shape garden is 24 m.

3. Find the perimeter of a square shaped playground whose each side length 12 m.

Solution:

We know a square has four equal sides. So, we can easily calculate the perimeter of a square.

The formula for finding the perimeter of a square is:

P = 4 × length of a side

= 4 × 12 m

= 48 m
