The question
Question: find the perimeter of a square with sides 7 m.
1 Find every side
The perimeter is the way all around the edge.
We add every side.
A square has 4 sides, all the same.
So every side is 7 m.
2 Add all the sides
Walk around and add: 7 + 7 + 7 + 7.
P = 7 + 7 + 7 + 7
4 sides of 7 is 4 times 7.
P = 4 × 7
4 times 7 is 28.
So the perimeter is 28 m.
P = 28 m
Let's look back.
First: find every side.
Last: add all the sides.
Answer
P = 28 m
