Question

Find the area and perimeter of the following diagram below in the pic?

Answer 1

Area of the square = 9 square units

Perimeter of the square = 12 units

Explanation:

The above shape given is a square

The dots represent the number of units per side

If you look at the figure critically, you will observe that each side of the square has three dots

Hence, the length of the square is 3 units

The next thing is to find the area and perimeter of the square

The area of the square is given below as

`\text{ Area of a square = a}^2`

Where a = 3 units

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Area of a square = (3)}^2 \\ \text{Area of a square = 3 x 3} \\ \text{Area of a square = 9 square units} \end{gathered}`

The perimeter of a square is given as

`\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter of a square = 4a} \\ \text{Perimeter = 4 (3)} \\ \text{Perimeter = 12 units} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of the square is 9 square units and the perimeter is 12 units
