Question

Area and perimeter of a square of side 2.5 m are equal.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

We know that the perimeter of any square is four times the length of a side.

i.e., If '$s$' is the length of a side of a square, then its perimeter '$P$' is given by $P=4\times s$

Given, side '$s$' = 2.5 meters. Then the perimeter of the given square is,

$P=4\times 2.5=10\text{meters}$.

Also, if $s$ is the length of a side of a square, then its area $A$ is given by $A=s\times s$.

So, $A=2.5\times 2.5=6.25\text{sq m}$

Therefore, the area and perimeter of a square of side 2.5 m are not equal.
