Final answer:

The relationship between the side length and the perimeter of the squares is proportional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional Relationships:



To determine if the relationship between each pair of quantities is proportional, we can calculate the ratios of the corresponding values. Let's consider the side length of a square and its perimeter. We divide the perimeter by the side length for each square:

  • For the first square: 22/5.5 = 4.
  • For the second square: 35.2/8.8 = 4.
  • For the third square: 41.2/10.3 = 4.
  • For the fourth square: 49.6/12.4 = 4.


The ratios are all equal to 4, which means the relationship between the side length and the perimeter of the squares is

proportional
