1)The area of a square is 25 square meters. What is it's perimeter?
2) A square support unit in a television is made with a scale measuring 3 centimeters. A new model being deigned for the upcoming year will have a larger square with a side measuring 3.2 centimeters. By how much will the area of the square be increased? Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) Think about the formula for finding the area of a square whose side is S:
But in this problem, you are told that the area, A, = 25 square meters, so substitute 25 for A and... Take the square root of both sides.
So the length of one side of the square is 5 meters. The perimeter of a square is given by: and since S = 5, substitute 5 for S and... meters.
2) The original area is: square centimeters.
The new area will be: square centimeters.
The increase in the area will be the difference of these two: = square centimeters.
