To calculate the perimeter of a square requires one essential parameter which is the length of one side of a square.
The formula for computing the perimeter of a square is:
P = 4 x l
Where:
P = Perimeter of a Square
l = Length of one side of a Square
Let’s solve an example
Find the perimeter of a square which has a length of 10 m.
This implies that:
l = length of one side of a square = 10
P = 4 x l
P = 4 x 10
So, P = 40
Therefore, the perimeter of the square is 40 m.
Calculating the Length of a Square when Perimeter is Given
The formula is l = p / 4
Where;
P = Perimeter of a square
l = Length of a square
Let’s solve an example:
Find the length of a square where the perimeter of a square is 100 m.
This implies that;
P = Perimeter of a square = 100 m
l = p / 4
l = 100 / 4
Then, l = 25
Therefore, the length of the square is 25 m.
