Question

PLEASE HELP!!

If you have a square, then the area of the square is greater than or equal to the perimeter of that square
Determine if the statement above is TRUE or FALSE, If the statement is FALSE, provide 1 counterexample

Answer 1

Statement is not true

Explanation:

If the statement is true, then it is true for all cases

If the statement is false, then it might be wrong in some cases

Mathematically;

Area of a square is s^2 while perimeter is 4s

S represents the length of the side of the square

Let’s say we have a square of side 0.4m

The area will be 0.4 * 0.4 = 0.16 m^2

The perimeter will be 4 * 0.4 = 1.6m

We can see that in this case the perimeter is greater.

Thus, the statement is not always true
