Question

If the area of a square is 9, then the perimeter of the
square is

Answer 1

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

12 units.

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

The formula for area of a square is:

`A=s^2\\\\\boxed{\text{Key:}}\\\\s-\text{Side length given.}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

• We are given the area of the square, 9.
• To find the side length of the square, required to get the perimeter, we would have to take the square root of 9.

Recall that the area of a square is the square of it's side length.
`(s^2)`⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Finding the side length of the square:}}\\\\\rightarrow S=9\\\\√(9)=3\\\\\rightarrow S=\boxed{3}^2`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The side length of the square is 3 units.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The formula for perimeter of a square is:

`P=4(s)\\\\\boxed{\text{Key:}}\\\\s-\text{Side Length}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

• We have previously calculated the side length of the square, which is 3.
• We would have to multiply 3 by 4 to get the perimeter.

Recall that the perimeter of a square is 4 times the side length.
`4(s)`.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Finding the perimeter of a square:}}\\\\P=4(3)\\\\\boxed{P=12}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The perimeter of the square is 12 units.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer 2

12.

Explanation:

The side length = sqrt 9 = 3

so the perimeter = 4*3 = 12.
