Example Question #4 :How To Find The Area Of A Square

A square has an area of. What is the length of one side?

Possible Answers:

\dpi{100} 4\ inches

\dpi{100} 16\ inches

\dpi{100} 2\ inches

\dpi{100} 8\ inches

Correct answer:

\dpi{100} 4\ inches

Explanation:

You can find the area of a square by multiplying two sides together. All of the sides of a square are equal. In this case,\dpi{100} 4\times 4=16, so the length of all of the sides of the square is 4 inches.

What is the area of the square?

Possible Answers:

48 square centimeters

12 square centimeters

144 square centimeters

100 square centimeters

112 square centimeters

Correct answer:

144 square centimeters

Explanation:

The area of a square can be found by multiplying the length of a side times itself. The side length of the above square is 12 cm. By finding 12 x 12, we find that the area of the square is 144 cm. squared.

Example Question #6 :How To Find The Area Of A Square

James found the area of the square below to be 36 centimeters squared.

What is the length of one side of the square?

Possible Answers:

8 centimeters

6 centimeters

9 centimeters

18 centimeters

36 centimeters

Correct answer:

6 centimeters

Explanation:

The area of a square can be found by multiplying the length of a side by itself. 36 is equal to 6 times 6, therefore the length of one side is 6 centimeters.

Example Question #7 :How To Find The Area Of A Square

Daphne found the area of the square below to be 81 centimeters squared.

Possible Answers:

8 centimeters

20 centimeters

81 centimeters

9 centimeters

7 centimeters

Correct answer:

9 centimeters

Explanation:

The area of a square can be found by multiplying the length of a side by itself. 81 is equal to 9 times 9, therefore the length of one side is 9 centimeters.

Example Question #8 :How To Find The Area Of A Square

If the area of a square is, what is the length of each side?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the area of a square, the length must be multiplied by the height. Since a square has four equal sides, the length and width will have the same measurement. We must, therefore, find the square root of. Since,is the square root of, which makes it the measurement for both the length and the width of the square.

Example Question #1 :Squares

If the length of a rectangle is four times the width, and the width is, what is the perimeter of the rectangle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

In order to find the perimeter of a rectangle, we must add the length of all the sides together. In this case, however, we must first determine the length, which can be found by multiplyingby, because the length is four times the width, which had already been defined as.

Now we add together the four sides.

Example Question #2 :Squares

If the perimeter of a square is, what is the length of each side?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the perimeter of a square, all the sides must be added together. Since a square hasequal sides, the length of each side can be determined by dividing the perimeter () by.
