Answer:

As Per Provided Information

Area of given square slice of cheese is 25 square inches .

We have been asked to determine the perimeter of the slice of cheese .

First we will find the side of square slice of cheese .

Let us assume the side of square slice of cheese be s .

Now Let's Solve


\boxed{\bf \:Area_((Square)) = {Side}^(2)}

Substituting the value and we obtain


\sf \longrightarrow \: 25 = {s}^(2) \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow \: √(25) = s \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow \: s \: = 5 \: inch

So, the side of square slice cheese is 5 inch

Now let's calculate the Perimeter of cheese


\boxed{\bf \: Perimeter_((Square)) = 4 * side}

Substituting the value we obtain


\longrightarrow \sf \: Perimeter_((Square)) = 4 * 5 \\ \\ \\ \longrightarrow \sf \: Perimeter_((Square)) =20 \: inches

Therefore,

  • Perimeter of square slice of cheese is 20 inches .
