Question

A. Are the length of a side of a square and the perimeter of the square related proportionally? Why or why not?

b. Are the length of the side of the square related proportionally? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Yes, they are. A square has the same measurement for all four sides. Unlike a parallelogram which is slanted and uneven.

Answer 2

The answer is yes.

Explanation:

Yes, the length of a side of a square and the perimeter of the square are related proportionally.

Let the side of the square be a.

So, perimeter is given as =
`a+a+a+a=4a`

Or we can say =
`4* a=4a`

We can see, that the perimeter is always 4 times the side length of the square.

Example:

Suppose the side of the square is 4 cm.

So, perimeter =
`4*4=16` cm
