[1] product of all the sides.
[2] sum of all the sides.
[3] sum of any two sides.
[4] sum of the diagonals.
Answer:
Perimeter (P) The distance around the outside of a shape (sum of all sides).
Question 2
If the area of a square is 144 𝑐𝑚2 then its perimeter is
, [1] 36 cm.
[2] 48 cm.
[3] 12 cm.
[4] 24 cm.
Answer:
Area of the square is 144 𝑐𝑚2.
Area of the square is 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 2 .
144 = 𝑠𝑖𝑑𝑒 2
Side = √144
Side = 12𝑐𝑚
Perimeter is 12𝑐𝑚 × 4
= 48𝑐𝑚
