In general, the perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of the length of its sides. If a square has sides of length s, it's perimeter is equal to s + s + s + s. In other words, P = 4s. Rearranging this equation we get s = P/4, so the length of any side of a square is equal to one fourth of the square's perimeter.
For example, if the perimeter is 32, the equation becomes s = 32/4
32 divided by 4 equals = 8 so if the perimeter of a square is 32, it has sides of length 8.

How do you find the area if perimeter is given?
If the area is a square, 1/4 of the perimeter is the length of one side. That length squared is the area. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
Find the perimeter of the square and then convert the answer to meters given 100cm 1m 01m 1cm?
It is not possible to give a straightforward answer to this question because the person who posted the question forgot to describe the square!If the length of each side of the square is s cm, then its perimeter is 4*s cm. In terms of metres, that is 4*s/100 = s/25 metres.
What shape has the same perimeter but not the same area?
Begs the question: Same perimeter as what? There are plenty of examples of shapes that given the same perimeter length will have different areas, e.g. pick any two of the following: Circle, Square, Triangle, Rhombus, Pentagon, Hexagon...
Formula of a rectangle?
There is no formula for a rectangle. There are formula for calculating its area, perimeter or length of diagonals from its sides, or it is possible to calculate the length of one pair of sides given the other sides and the area or perimeter, or the two lots of sides given area and perimeter and so on.
Which has greater area circle or square?
For a given perimeter, the circle has the largest area possible.
How do you determine area when perimeter and length of a square is given?
The perimeter of square is 4 x length If you have perimeter only divide by 4 to get length and The area of square is length x length If you already have length that is all you need to know
What is the length and width of a garden if it has the greatest possible area?
For a given perimeter, its a square.
What is the perimeter of a square with an area of 65 centemetre square?
The perimeter of a square is four times the length of one side. Since the length of the side is not given here, you have to figure that out first. Note that the area of a square is the square (the second power) of the length of one side.
How do you find the length of the square with a perimeter 64Cm?
Perimeter of a square is given by 4a where 'a' is the side of square. Just put 64 equals to 4a which gives a=16
Do you add all of the sides that are given for perimeter?
Yes. For example, to find the perimeter of a square, add the length of the four sides.
Which CANNOT be used to find the perimeter of a square with side length s?
The answer is given below:
What is the formula for measuring area within a given perimeter such as a square?
The formula for measuring the area of a square is s2, where s is the length of one of the sides. The perimeter would be 4s.
How do you find the area if perimeter is given?
If the area is a square, 1/4 of the perimeter is the length of one side. That length squared is the area. The area will be the product of two numbers whose sum is half the perimeter.
How do you get the area of a square from the perimeter?
you take the given perimeter, divide it by four (because a square has four sides, equal in length), and whatever number you get, you multiply by itself (because to find the area of a square you multiply length by width, or in other words, square the length of the side). for example: the perimeter is 24. 24 divided by 4 is 6. 6 x 6=36.
What is the perimeter and area of a square?
depends how big the square is and you would only know if the edge lengths are given
What is the length and width of a rectangle if the area is 2200 square feet?
The length and width can't be determined since it is a rectangle. A length would need to be given, or it would have to be a square.
How do you find the area of a square if given a perimeter?
The perimeter of a square is the measurement of all the external sides, of which there are of course 4. We also know that for a square all of these 4 sides are of equal length. Therefore if we divide the perimeter by 4 we get the length of one side. If you then square this length (multiply it by itself) you get the area of the square. so if the perimeter measurements was 40 units 40/4 gives you the length of one side = 10 units and 10*10 gives you the area of the square - 100 square units. thus generically the area of a square with a perimeter of 'x' = (x/4)2
