We will discuss here how to find the perimeter of a square. Perimeter of a square is the total length (distance) of the boundary of a square. In a square all the sides are of equal lengths. Hence, perimeter of a square = 4l We know that all the sides of a square are equal. Perimeter of the square ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD = 2 cm + 2 cm + 2 cm + 2 cm = (2 × 4) cm = 8 cm Perimeter of a square is 4 times of s side. Perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side. Let us consider some of the examples on perimeter of a square: 1. Each side of a square is 2.5 cm. Find its perimeter. Solution: Side = 2.5 cm Therefore, perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side = (4 × 2.5) cm = 10 cm 2. A rope of length 96 m was used to fence a square garden. What is the length of the side of the garden? Solution: Perimeter of the garden = Length of the rope = 96 m We know that perimeter of a square = 4 × length of a side So, 4 × length of a side = 96 m Length of a side = \(\frac{96}{4}\) m = 24 m Therefore, length of the one side of the square shape garden is 24 m. 3. Find the perimeter of a square shaped playground whose each side length 12 m. Solution: We know a square has four equal sides. So, we can easily calculate the perimeter of a square. The formula for finding the perimeter of a square is: P = 4 × length of a side = 4 × 12 m = 48 m 4. Each sides of a paper sheet is 14 ft. Find its perimeter. Solution: Given: Side length is 14 ft. Perimeter of a square is = 4 × side = 4 × 14 ft = 56 ft 5. Find the perimeter of the square PQRS whose one side is 10.5 m. Solution: Side of the square = 10.5 m Perimeter of the square = 4 × side = 4 × 10.5 = 42 m 6. Find the perimeter of the square PQRS whose one side is 4 cm. Solution: The perimeter of the square = 4 × side = 4 × 4 cm = 16 cm Questions and Answers on Perimeter of a Square: 1. The perimeter of a square photo frame is 12 cm. What is the length of its side? Answer: 3
