Question

If the side of a square is doubled, its perimeter becomes ………

• A. double
• B. $3$times
• C. $4$times
• D. $8$times

Answer 1

The correct option is A

double

Let the side of the square be $xcm.$

Then Perimeter of the square $=4\times side=4xcm$……….$\left(i\right)$

According to question

If the side of the square is doubled

Then Perimeter of the square$=4\times 2x=8xcm$………….$\left(ii\right)$

From $\left(i\right)and\left(ii\right)$we can say that perimeter gets double of itself.
