If the area of a square is 196 meters, what is the perimeter.?

Question

Please help me if you can. This is for a class I am taking.

Answer 1

a square must have 4 even sides..the area is found by taking the length x width..and they both must be equal. so take the square root of 196. it is 14..each side is 14. now since each side is 14, multiply it by 4 to get the perimeter..14x4= 56

56 is your final answer.

Answer 2

Area of a square = s^2
A = 196 square meters

to solve for the length of it's side, get the square root of 196, which is 14 meters

to solve for the perimeter, add all the side of a square or you can use the formula:

P = 4s
P = 4 x 14 meters
Perimeter of the square is = 56 meters

Answer 3

196 is actually a perfect square, 14^2 = 196. So if the square measures 14 on one side and you multiply that by 4 you get 56 meters as the perimeter.

Answer 4

A=s^2, P=4s
Find s.

A=196 meters squared

The square root of 196 is 14.

s=14.

Now you find the perimeter. It's the only way to learn what you need to learn for your class.

Answer 5

To acheive the square meter figure you would multiply the length times the width of the area. 196 meters divided by 2 the 2 sides means that the length and width of the square are both 98 since it is a square. The perimeter is the total of the 4 sides so the total perimeter of the square would be 392 linear meters.

Answer 6

If the area of a square =196
Then length of one side = √196 = 14
So perimeter = 4*length of one side = 4x14 = 56

Note that you should say area is 196 metres-squared. Area cannot be in 'metres' as a unit.

Answer 7

a2=196 a=14
4a=4x14=56

Answer 8

length of side = 14 m
P = 4 x 14 m
P = 56 m
