Perimeter of a Square Formula
The total distance outside the square is the perimeter of the square. We know that a square has 4 sides and the perimeter of the sum of the length of all the 4 sides. All the sides of a square are equal and hence the perimeter is taken as four times the one side.
Perimeter of a Square Formula is given as,
\(\begin{array}{l}\large Perimeter\;of\;a\;Square(P)=4a\end{array} \)
Where,
a = Side of the square
Solved Example
Question: Find the perimeter of a square whose side is 16 cm.
Solution:
Given,
Side of the square = a = 16 cm
Perimeter of a Square = 4a
= 4 x 16
= 64 cm
