Q- the perimeter P of a square is related to the side length s by the formula P=4s. the A is related to side length by the formula A=sxs or A=s2 ---- A. make table showing perimeter of a square increase as the side length increase from 1 to 6 in one unit step decrib the pattern change

the perimeter P of a square is related to the side length s by the formula P=4s.
the A is related to side length by the formula A=sxs or A=s2 ---- A. make table showing perimeter of a square increase as the side length increase from 1 to 6 in one unit step decribe the pattern change
:
A table relating perimeter to the side of a square
perimeter = the side multiplied by 4, therefore
:
s | p
------
1 | 4
2 | 8
3 | 12
4 | 16
5 | 20
6 | 24
You can see a pattern where, p increases 4 units for 1 unit increase in s
:
You can do the same for area where A = s^2, (area = the side squared)
s | A
-------
1 | 1
2 | 4
3 | 9
4 | 16
5 | 25
6 | 36
