Question

What is the area of a square window that has a perimeter of 20 feet?!!!!

Answer 1

the perimeter is 20, so what is the side length?

Answer 2

5?

Answer 3

let x=side length
per=4x
4x=20
x=5

Answer 4

good, 20/4 = 5

Answer 5

so you have a perimeter of 20, a flat unit
so to make it square unit, borrow a few units from the 20, or split it in 2
use one unit for the length, another for the width
and get the area by length x width

Answer 6

the area is then found by using this formula

A = s^2

A = area
s = side length

Answer 7

5 isn't right @jim_thompson5910 @ranjeet619

Answer 8

5 is a step to get the answer, it's not the actual answer

Answer 9

.... what do you do next then

Answer 10

area is lengthxwidth, since its a square that has 4 equal sides do 20/4 to get 5. so each side is 5. lengthxwidth is 5x5 = 25

Answer 11

@xoxox123 , jim_thomspson5910 's response and warningiflirt 's response will help you see how to get the answer.

Answer 12

I tried 25 already and it was wrongg

Answer 13

25 feet squared should be the right answer! Make sure the units are square feet.

Answer 14
