Answer 1

25  x 36 is 900. If the area of the square is also 900, and you know that all four sides of a square are congruent, you know that a side squared equals 900.

 

30 squared is 900.

 

Each side is 30, so the perimeter is 30 x the four sides, or 120.

Answer 2

A = lw

A = 25(36)

A = 900 in²

 

A = s²

900 = s²

√900 = √s²

30 in = s

 

P = 4s

P = 4(30)

P = 120 inches
