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
