Square Perimeter Calculator

Introduction

Welcome to our Square Perimeter Calculator! which will help you calculate the rectangle’s perimeter quickly and easily. A Square is a four-sided polygon where all four sides are equal. The square’s four sides make equal angles at its vertices and measure 90 degrees each.

The perimeter of the square is the total distance around the shape. We can calculate the perimeter by adding the length of the sides. Generally, we measure it in units like centimeters, inches, meters, feet, etc.

How to use the Square Perimeter Calculator?

Using the Square Perimeter calculator, you can calculate the perimeter of the square by inputting the length of one of the sides of the square.

The variables in the Square Perimeter Calculator include

Side (a)
The length of the side of the square.

Perimeter (P)
The sum of lengths of the four sides of the square.

What is a Square?

A Square is a two-dimensional shape with four equal sides and four equal right angles at its vertices. In brief, the properties of a square include

  1. All four sides are equal.

  2. All angles measure 90 degrees.

  3. Opposite sides of a Square are parallel to each other.

  4. The sum of all interior angles is 360 degrees.

  5. The length of the diagonals of a square is equal.

  6. The diagonals of a square bisect each other at 90 degrees.

How is the Perimeter of the Square Calculated?

Perimeter is the distance around the shape of a square. So, to calculate the perimeter, we have to add the lengths of the sides of the square.

We can calculate the perimeter of the square by using the following formula.

P=4×aP = 4 \times a

Where,

a = Length of one side of the square

Examples

Given a square with a length of side equal to 10 cm. What is the perimeter of the square?

The perimeter of the square can be calculated by using the following formula

P=4×a=4×10=40  cm\begin{aligned} P &= 4 \times a \\[10pt] &= 4 \times 10 \\[10pt] &= 40 \; cm \end{aligned}

As shown above, in the calculation, the perimeter of the square is 40 cm.
