Calculating Perimeter of Squares

This video tutorial explains the concept of the perimeter of a square, highlighting its importance as a geometric property. It provides a step-by-step guide on how to calculate the perimeter by adding the lengths of all four sides or by using the formula: side length multiplied by four. The tutorial emphasizes that perimeter is measured in linear units, not square units, and provides examples with different units of measurement to illustrate the calculation process.

What is the perimeter of a square?

• The complete distance around the square

• The volume of the square

• The length of one side of the square

• The area inside the square

How do you calculate the perimeter of a square by addition?

• Add the lengths of all four sides
