If you double the dimensions, then the perimeter is doubled. However, the area is quadrupled. For example, let's say that a side of a square is x units. The perimeter would be 4x, and the area x2. Now, let's double the dimension into 2x. Now, the perimeter is 8x, and the area is 4x2. As you can see, the perimeter is doubled and the area is quadrupled.

How do you find the area of a square with the perimeter?

A square has all 4 of its perimeter lengths equal. Thus the length of the perimeter divided by 4 will give you the 'unitary' dimension. Multiply this 'unitary' dimension by itself (square it) and the result is the area of the square in question.

What is the perimeter of the square of 11.3ft by 8.7ft?

If your object is 11.3 feet by 8.7 feet then I have it on good authority that it is not square! It is a rectangle and we find the perimeter by adding the length to the width and then doubling the result. Perimeter = 2(11.3 + 8.7) = 2 * 20 = 40 feet.

Is the perimeter of a square doubled when each side is doubled?

no Actually, yes. The four sides can be labeled A, B, C, D. Doubling each side gives 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D. Factoring out the two gives the expression 2*(A+B+C+D). We recognize (A+B+C+D) as the perimeter of the square. 2*(the perimeter of the square) is twice the perimeter of the square.

You have an area that is 36 square feet what is the perimeter?

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides of the figure. The perimeter cannot be determined just by area alone, other dimension(s) are needed unless you are referring to a circle in which case the perimeter would be the circumference which in that case would be 6.77 feet.
