A pyramid has square base with an area of 144 feet squared. what is the perimeter of the base of the pyramid?

Answer 1

We are given a square base that has an area of 144 ft². Let s be the side length. The area of a square of side s is s² . Thus we have s² = 144. Since 144 is just 12², then s = 12 ft.

We are asked for the perimeter of the square base. The perimeter of the base of a square with side s is just 4*s, or 4*12 = 48 ft.

Answer 2

Leta be the length of one side of a square.

Area of a square is a^2.

If a^2 = 144 the a = sqrt(144) = 12.ft

Perimeter of a square i = 4a = 4 * 12 = 48ft
