The perimeter of a square is given by the formula:


P=4l

Where l is the side length of the square. This is because the square has 4 sides of the same length. Substitute l=10in to find the perimeter:


\begin{gathered} P=4l \\ \Rightarrow P=4(10in) \\ =40in \end{gathered}

Therefore, the perimeter of the square is:


40in
