Question

Hi which formula do i use for this and how do I find the answer?

Answer 1

The perimeter of a square is given by:

`P=s+s+s+s`

Where:

s = Length of one side

Add like terms:

`P=4s`

Since the perimeter is 6 meters, then:

`\begin{gathered} P=6m \\ 6=4s \end{gathered}`

Solve for s:

`\begin{gathered} s=(6)/(4) \\ s=(3)/(2) \\ s=1.5m \end{gathered}`
