Question

One side of a square is 10 units. Which is greater, the number of square units for the area of the square or the number of units for the perimeter? Explain.

Answer 1

Number of units squared for the area of the square = $10^{2}$ = 100$units^{2}$

Number of units for perimiter = 4×10 = 40units

100>40 
Therefore the square units for the area is greater then the units for the perimiter
