Find the perimeter of the square. Be sure to write the correct unit in your answer.
Solution
To find the perimeter of a square, we use the formula:
Given that the side length of the square is 12 inches, the calculation would be:
Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 48 inches.

- How does the perimeter change if the side length is doubled?
- If the perimeter of a square is 64 inches, what is the length of each side?
- How would you calculate the perimeter if the side length was given in feet instead of inches?
- What is the difference between finding the perimeter of a square and a rectangle?
Tip: Remember, the perimeter of a square is always four times the length of one side since all sides are equal.
