This is a trick question. A square by definition has four equal sides, therefore it cannot measure 4 x 6. A geometrical figure having four sides, right angles, and measuring 4 x 6 would be called a rectangle, not a square. And it would have a perimeter of 20.

You can't tell the perimeter from the area.Here are a few different rectangles and their perimeters.All of them enclose 12 square feet.1/2 x 24 .. . perimeter = 491 x 12 . . . . perimeter = 261.5 x 8 .. . . perimeter = 192 x 6 . . . . . perimeter = 162.4 x 5 .. . . perimeter = 14.83 x 4 . . . . . perimeter = 143.464 x 3.464 . . perimeter = 13.856
Perimeter of a square = 4 x (length of any one side)
Area = Legth x Width In a square, Length = Width Therefore Area = Length x Length (or Width x Width) Area = Length squared Length = Square Root of 800 Perimeter = 4 x length Perimeter = 4 x Square Root of 800 Perimeter = 113.14
Perimeter of a square = 4 x side units Side = 19 cm So, Perimeter = 4 x 19 cm = 76 cm
Perimeter just all lengths added together. A square has all equal sides so 4x+6 x 4 = 8x+24.
