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

The video tutorial guides students through solving a problem involving the perimeter of a square. It begins by introducing the problem and reviewing the properties of squares, such as having four equal sides and right angles. The teacher explains how to calculate the perimeter and solve for the side length using algebraic expressions. The final solution is derived by dividing the given perimeter expression by four, demonstrating the importance of understanding basic geometry and algebra concepts.

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

• It has two equal sides.

• It has three equal sides.

• It has four equal sides.

• It has no equal sides.

How is the perimeter of a square calculated?

• By dividing the length of one side by 4.

• By adding the lengths of all sides.

• By multiplying the length of one side by 3.

• By subtracting the length of one side from the total length.

If the perimeter of a square is given, how can you find the length of one side?

• Add 4 to the perimeter.

• Divide the perimeter by 4.

• Multiply the perimeter by 4.

• Subtract 4 from the perimeter.

What is the first step in solving for the side length when given a perimeter expression like 16 - 24H?

• Subtract 4 from each term in the expression.

• Multiply the entire expression by 4.

• Add 4 to the entire expression.

• Divide each term in the expression by 4.

What is the final expression for the side length of the square when the perimeter is 16 - 24H?

• 6 + 4H

• 6 - 4H

• 4 - 6H

• 4 + 6H
