Question

The area of a square shaped rug is 81 square feet. If the rug is 9 ft long, what is ire perimeter?

Answer 1

A square has 4 equal sides. Each side is 9 ft long. So, it is 9+9+9+9 or 9*4 which is 36.


The rug is 36 ft in perimeter.

Answer 2

Hi there!

Since any square has the same length and width, we can assume that since the length of the rug is 9 ft, the width must also be 9 ft. Since the perimeter is all sides of a shape added up, we can solve:

9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = perimeter
= 36

So, the answer is 36 ft. 

Hope this helps!
