The area of a square is 25 square meters. What is its perimeter?

Thanks.
Answer by SHUgrad05(58) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A square has 4 sides. The area of a square is s^2 (s=side). The perimeter is s+s+s+s.
So, s^2=25 which means s=5.
The perimeter is equal to s+s+s+s=5+5+5+5=20
The perimeter of the square is 20 meters
