GCSE Maths Practice: perimeter-and-area

Question 4 of 10

This question focuses on calculating the perimeter of a square.

\( \begin{array}{l}\text{Find the perimeter of a square with side length } 7\,\text{cm}.\end{array} \)

Choose one option:

Multiply the side by 4. Check your units.

Squares have equal sides. To calculate perimeter, multiply one side by 4. For side length 7 cm, perimeter = 28 cm. This is a basic but essential skill. It is often combined with area questions in exams. Practice with different side lengths, and check units consistently. Perimeter represents the boundary length of a shape.
