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.

Square 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.
whenever you have something "squared" you are looking for the area
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)
