Question

1. if one side of a square has a length of 56 cm, what is its perimeter?

a. 112 cm
b. 224 cm
c. 448 cm
d. 3,136 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula

The perimeter $P$ of a square is given by $P = 4s$, where $s$ is the side - length of the square.

Step2: Substitute given side - length

Given $s = 56$ cm, then $P=4\times56$.

Step3: Calculate the result

$4\times56 = 224$ cm.

Answer:

b. 224 cm
