Question

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

Answer 1

do you know all the sides of a square are the same length ?

the perimeter is the distance around the figure (the sum of all the sides)

can you figure how long one side is if you know 4 sides add up to 20 ?

Answer 2

i was thnking 5by4?

Answer 3

First, how long is one side ?

Answer 4

5 right

Answer 5

let's check: add up 4 sides, each 5 long: 5+5+5+5 = 20

that worked. so each side is 5

the area of a square is length times width (and of course length and width are the same size)

Answer 6

so if the l*w are the same it will=25 right

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

people say area of a square is s^2 (meaning s*s) where s is the length of a side
because the length=s and the width = s

Answer 9

so the area would be 25 than?

Answer 10

Yes, good job.
