The area of the square shown is 5 m^2. Which of the following describes 4s the perimeter of the square in meters?
The perimeter of the square is 4s, where s is the length of each side of the square. Since the area of the square is 5 m^2, we can find the length of one side by taking the square root of the area:
s = √5 m ≈ 2.24 m
Therefore, the perimeter of the square is:
4s = 4(2.24) = 8.96 m
So, the perimeter of the square is approximately 8.96 meters.
