If the length of each side is s, then you add the lengths of the sides:
s+s+s+s = 4s
Muliplication is easier: the perimeter is 4 times s = 4s.

β 11y agoSquare is a special case of a rectangle and the same formula may be used to find the perimeter
yes
Take the measurement of one side of the square and multiply it by 4.
The perimeter of a square is the distance around it. To calculate the perimeter of a square, multiply the length fo one side by four. Another way to find perimeter is to add together the length of all sides. To find the perimeter of a square you have to add up the lengths of all the 4 sides (example: 4+4+4+4=16 Perimeter=16). A formula you can use is P=4x (Perimeter=4 times the length of one side)
whenever you have something "squared" you are looking for the area
no
I think so
Yes. But using P=4s is easier with a square.

The details vary, depending on the figure. The perimeter is the distance around a figure. This normally involves addition - you have to add all the sides. You will only use multiplication if you know that two or more sides have the same length, as in a rectangle, a square, or a regular polygon.
The perimeter of a square with a diagonal of 12 centimeters is: 33.9 centimeters.In future, to find out the perimeter of a square when you only know it's diagonal, use Pythagoras or times the diagonal by 2.828427125.This number is irrational, and is like a pi for the diagonals of squares.I call it Tau.It is the relationship between the diagonal of all squares and there perimeter.
To find the perimeter of a polygon (a figure with 3 or more enclosed, straight sides) simply add all of the outside lengths. For Example: A square is 2 by 7 in. Then the perimeter would be 18 inches.
Assuming that you want to minimise the perimeter, then use a square. Its side length is, of course, given by the square root of the area.

You use perimeter when you are making a fence
We use perimeter to measure the length and breadth so that we can easily find out the measurement of a figure
I will lead you in finding this answer. The first thing you would do is use the formula A = s^2 backwards. In other words, you will plug in the 10000 as your area and go backwards to find your answer. The best way to do this is to find the square root of 10000. Then, after you find your answer, multiply it by 4 to find the perimeter, which is 400. Hope this helps for future reference!8th grader
