Math Problem Statement

Calculate the perimeter of a square with a side length of 4/2 using the formula P = 4s.

Solution

The image shows a square with a side length of 42\frac{4}{2}, which simplifies to 2 units. The problem asks to find the perimeter of the square using the formula P=4sP = 4s, where ss is the side length of the square.

Solution:

Given that the side length s=2s = 2 units, we can use the perimeter formula: P=4s=4×2=8 unitsP = 4s = 4 \times 2 = 8 \text{ units}

So, the perimeter of the square is 8 units.

Here are 5 related questions to consider:

  1. What would the perimeter be if the side length was 3 units?
  2. How do you calculate the area of the square given the side length?
  3. If the side length was doubled, what would be the new perimeter?
  4. Can you derive the formula for the perimeter of a square?
  5. What is the perimeter if one side of the square is given as a fraction, for example, 53\frac{5}{3} units?

Tip: Remember, the perimeter of a square is always four times the length of one side.
