What is the formula to find the perimeter of a square?

32cm

Practice makes perfect

Let's start by drawing square ABCD with the given measurements.

The perimeter of a polygon is found by adding all of the side lengths. For squares, we can shorten this formula a little bit because every side has the same measure. P=4 s By substituting the given side length into this formula, we can calculate the perimeter.
P=4s
P=4( 8)
P=32
The perimeter of the square is 32centimeters.
