The lenght of the sides of two squares are 4cm and 6cm find the perimeters and areas
4" square: p=16, a=16
6" square: p=24, a=36
square of side length s: p=4s, a=s^2
P = 4 * 4cm = 16 cm.
A = L*W = 4*4 = 16 cm^2.
P = 4 * 6cm = 24 cm.
A = L*W = 6*6 = 36 cm^2.
To find the perimeters and areas of the squares, we need to know the formulas for calculating perimeter and area.
The perimeter of a square is given by the formula P = 4s, where P represents the perimeter and s represents the length of one side.
The area of a square is given by the formula A = s^2, where A represents the area and s represents the length of one side.
Let's calculate the perimeters and areas of the two squares:
1. Square with a side length of 4cm:
- Perimeter: P = 4s = 4 * 4cm = 16cm
- Area: A = s^2 = 4cm^2 = 16cm^2
2. Square with a side length of 6cm:
- Perimeter: P = 4s = 4 * 6cm = 24cm
- Area: A = s^2 = 6cm^2 = 36cm^2
So, the perimeters and areas of the squares are as follows:
1. Square with a side length of 4cm: Perimeter = 16cm, Area = 16cm^2
2. Square with a side length of 6cm: Perimeter = 24cm, Area = 36cm^2
