The area of a square plot of land is 325 square meters. What is the perimeter of the square, in meters? Express your answer in simplest radical form.
area of square = (side length)2
Plug in 325 m2 for area and solve for side length.
325 m2 = (side length)2
Take the positive square root of both sides.
√[325 m2] = side length
5√13 m = side length
perimeter of square = 4 * side length
Plug in 5√13 m for side length.
perimeter of square = 4 * 5√13 m
perimeter of square = 20√13 m
area of square = (side length)2
Plug in 325 m2 for area and solve for side length.
325 m2 = (side length)2
Take the positive square root of both sides.
√[325 m2] = side length
5√13 m = side length
perimeter of square = 4 * side length
Plug in 5√13 m for side length.
perimeter of square = 4 * 5√13 m
perimeter of square = 20√13 m
