Question

The area of a square is 81 m ^ 2 what is the perimeter of the square? How do you know?

Answer 1

The answer is 36m.

Explanation:

So, first of all, you need to remember that the formula for the area of a square is x^2, or one side multiplied by another side. Also recall that in a square all sides are equal. This means that x^2=81. Now, the square root of 81 equals 9 (you should have this memorized by now). So, if each side of the square is 9, and there are 4 sides, the perimeter would be 9*4, which is 36m.
