ACT SAT Prep Learn how to determine the length of a square given the perimeter

The video tutorial explains how to determine the side length of a square given its perimeter. It begins by introducing the problem and reviewing the properties of squares, including their equal sides and right angles. The tutorial then guides viewers through solving the problem by setting up an equation for the perimeter and dividing by four to find the side length. The final calculation is demonstrated, resulting in the expression 4 - 6H as the side length. The tutorial emphasizes breaking down problems and understanding basic geometric concepts.

What is a key property of a square that helps in solving perimeter problems?

• It has three equal sides.

• It has no equal sides.

• It has four equal sides.

• It has two equal sides.

How is the perimeter of a square related to its side length?

• Perimeter is four times the side length.

• Perimeter is twice the side length.

• Perimeter is five times the side length.

• Perimeter is three times the side length.

What operation is necessary to find the side length from the perimeter of a square?

• Multiply by 4

• Divide by 4

• Add 4

• Subtract 4

If the perimeter of a square is given as 16 - 24H, what is the expression for the side length?

• 6 - 4H

• 4 - 6H

• 4 + 6H

• 6 + 4H

Why is it important to divide each term in the expression when finding the side length?

• To change the operation from division to multiplication.

• To add more terms to the expression.

• To make the expression more complex.

• To ensure the expression is simplified correctly.
