What is the area of a square if one side of the square is 6?
What is the area of a square if one side of the square is 6?
If one side of a square is 6, then each of the four sides of the square are equal to 6. To find the area of a square, we multiply the length and the height together. The length is 6, and the height is 6, thus the equation we use is
.
Remember the formula for the area of a quadrilateral is
. For a square, one side is equal to both the length and the width.

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

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

What is the length of one side of the square?
James found the area of the square below to be 36 centimeters squared.
What is the length of one side of the square?
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.

Daniel found the perimeter of the rectangle below to be 28 meters.
What is the length of the missing side of the rectangle?
Daniel found the perimeter of the rectangle below to be 28 meters.
What is the length of the missing side of the rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle can be found using the formulat 2w + 2l = P. In other words, twice the width plus twice the length equals the perimeter.
Start by finding the length of the given sides. In this case, 8+8 = 16 meters.
Subtract this value from the perimeter of the rectangle: 28 - 16 = 12.
The two remaining sides, each X meters long, must add up to 12 meters. Because opposite sides in a rectangle are the same length, X = 6 meters.

What is the perimeter of the rectangle?
The perimeter of a rectangle can be found by adding up all of the sides of the figure. We know that opposite sides of a rectangle have the same length, so the equation to add up all four sides should look like 5+5+8+8 = P. The perimeter is 26 meters.
