Math Problem Statement

The image shows a square with side lengths of 8 meters. You're asked to find the area and perimeter of the square.

Solution

The image shows a square with side lengths of 8 meters. You're asked to find the area and perimeter of the square.

Formula for Area:

The area AA of a square is given by: A=side2A = \text{side}^2 Here, the side length is 8 meters, so: A=82=64m2A = 8^2 = 64 \, \text{m}^2

Formula for Perimeter:

The perimeter PP of a square is given by: P=4×sideP = 4 \times \text{side} Again, using the side length of 8 meters: P=4×8=32mP = 4 \times 8 = 32 \, \text{m}

Final Answer:

  • Area = 64 m²
  • Perimeter = 32 m

  2. What is the difference between the perimeter and the area of a shape?
  3. Can the area formula be used for other polygons?
  4. How do you calculate the perimeter of a triangle?
  5. What is the relationship between side length and area in different polygons?

Tip: The area of a square is a simple calculation of multiplying the side by itself, while the perimeter is the sum of all four equal sides!
