Choose...
inches.

Answer 1

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 .
