The perimeter of a two-dimensional shape is the total distance around the shape, or the sum of the length of its sides.<ref> https://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/perimeter.html</ref> By definition, a square is a four-sided shape with four straight sides of equal length, and four right (90°) angles.<ref>http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/square</ref> Since all four sides are the same length, this makes finding the perimeter of a square really easy! This article will first show you how to calculate the perimeter of a square if you know the length of one side. It will then show you how to find the perimeter of a square if you only know is its area, and finally, it will teach you to find the perimeter of a square that is inscribed in a circle with a known radius. | The perimeter of a two-dimensional shape is the total distance around the shape, or the sum of the length of its sides.<ref> https://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/perimeter.html</ref> By definition, a square is a four-sided shape with four straight sides of equal length, and four right (90°) angles.<ref>http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/square</ref> Since all four sides are the same length, this makes finding the perimeter of a square really easy!
