a square has a perimeter but a square isnt a perimeter. so no a square isnt a perimeter
To find the perimeter of a square, you first need to work out the side length. The area of a square is L2 where L is the side length. The area of the square in the question is 16cm2 so L is the square root of 16, or 4. To get the perimeter of the square, we simply multiply the side length by 4. In this case 4x4=16, so the perimeter of the square is 16cm.
Square is a special case of a rectangle and the same formula may be used to find the perimeter
Perimeter of a square = 4*side. So perimeter of 6x6 square = 4*6 = 24 units.
divide the perimeter by four to get the length of one side then square your answer to find the area
