To find the perimeter of a square with a diagonal of 16 cm, we first need to determine the side length of the square using the Pythagorean theorem. The diagonal of a square divides it into two right-angled triangles, with the diagonal being the hypotenuse. Using the formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the two sides of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse, we can calculate that each side of the square is 8√2 cm. Since a square has four equal sides, the perimeter is 4 times the side length, giving us a perimeter of 32√2 cm.

The perimeter of a rhombus is 40cm and the length of one diagonal is 16cm find the length of the other diagonal?
The length of the other diagonal works out as 12cm
What is the area of a square if the perimeter is 16 cm?
The area of square is : 256.0
What is the perimeter of a square if one side is 4cm?
16cm (4 sides x 4 = 16)
What is the perimeter of 3cm by 5cm?
3 + 3 + 5 + 5 = 16cm
What are the dimensions of a rectangle that has a perimeter of 16cm and has the greatest possible area?
The greatest area that a rectangle can have is, in fact, attained when it is a square. A square with perimeter of 16 cm must have sides of 4 cm and so an area of 4*4 = 16 cm2.
