Question

The area of the square is 169 square ft how do you find the perimeter of the square?

Answer 1

`P = 52 ft`

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is
`P = 4*l`

Whereas the area of a square is
`A = l^2`

So we have that
`sqrt(A) = l = sqrt(169) = 13 ft`

And therefore the perimeter is
`P = 4*13 = 52 ft`
