Question

A square with a side length of square root 5 inches. Find the perimeter and the area of square in simplest form

Answer 1

Perimeter is
`4√(5)`. Area is 5cm².

Explanation:

Interesting question.

Side length is
`√(5)`, correct?

Do you know how to find the perimeter of a square? Add up each side, or since they're the same: 4 x Side

P = 4S =
`4√(5)` I don't know any simpler way to express that.

Area of a square is S², right?

So
`√(5) }` x
`√(5)`, which is just 5 cm² That's as "simplest form" as it gets.
