Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is simply 2 times length + 2 times width. In the case of our square, this would simply be 2x+2x (since length = width), or 4x . Therefore, if given an area, all you'd do is take the square root (to get from x2 to x , and then multiply by 4 to find perimeter.

Answer:

The first method

Take a square root, then multiply it by 4.

The defining characteristic of a square is that its length is equal to its width. Take a look below:

Self-created

So, for this particular square, the area is length⋅width, or x⋅x=x2. Now, how can you go from this to perimeter?

Well, the formula for perimeter is simply 2 times length + 2 times width. In the case of our square, this would simply be 2x+2x (since length = width), or 4x.

Therefore, if given an area, all you'd do is take the square root (to get from x2 to x, and then multiply by 4 to find perimeter.

The second method

s=√A

P=4×s

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of square, you just need to know the length of one side, because in a square all the sides are the same length.

If you know the area, find the square root of it to find the side.

s2=A

∴s=√A

Now you multiply by 4

For example, if the area is 36cm2

A=36

s=√36=6

P=4×6=24
