The formula for finding area of a square is:
[tex] length \times width [/tex]
In a square, all the sides are the same. Each side is 6 meters long. Plug in 6 to the formula.
[tex] length \times width \rightarrow 6 \times 6 [/tex]
Multiply:
[tex] 6 \times 6 = 36 [/tex]
The area of the square is 36 m²
Perimeter is the distance around a shape. To find perimeter, you have to add all all the side lengths. The formula for finding perimeter is:
[tex] 2(l) \times 2(w) [/tex]
Remember that squares have 4 sides, and all length(s) and width(s) measure the same. The length and width measure the same. Plug in the numbers into the formula:
[tex] 2(l) + 2(w) \rightarrow 2(6) + 2(6) [/tex]
Simplify:
[tex] 2(6) + 2(6) = 12 + 12 [/tex]
Add:
[tex] 12 + 12 = 24 [/tex]
The perimeter of the square is 24 m
