A) 20 inches
B) 25 inches
C) 30 inches
D) 35 inches
E) 36 inches
+1253 If the area of the square is 25 inches, each side is 5 inches because 5*5 = 25.
If each side is 5 inches, can you figure out the total perimeter?
You are very welcome!

+1982 The area of the square is 25 in^2; therefore, each side of the square is 5 inches in length.
The base of the equilateral triangle is one side of the square, which makes the base and each side of the triangle equal 5 inches.
The perimeter only includes the distance around the figure.
P = 3 sides of the square + 2 sides of the equilateral triangle
P = 3(5) + 2(5)
P = 15 +10
P = 25 inches
25 inches
