Perimeter = x + x + x + x = 4x.
The area of any rectangle is length * width. In your case, since the length and width are equal,
. We know from the problem that Area = 300, so we have:
(Taking the square root of both sides)
(simplifying the expression)
The perimeter =
=
=
= 69.28
Therefore the perimeter of the square photograph is 69.28 inches.
