Question

The perimeter of this square is 48 cm. c = ___ cm.

Answer 1

The perimeter of a figure is the distance around it. For a square, it has four equal sides. Given that the side of the square shown is c, it means that its perimeter is 4c. Since the perimeter is given as 48, then

4c = 48

c = 48/4

c = 12

c = 12 cm
