How to find the perimeter of a square

A quadrilateral is a figure that has four sides. Some examples of quadrilaterals are squares, rectangles, and parallelograms. The perimeter of the square is the sum of the length of each side of the square. In order to perform the calculation, you must measure each side of a square. If you know the shape of the figure, some shortcuts can be made for the calculation. See the following article to see how to calculate the perimeter of a square.

one

Measure each side of the square . If the shape is a square, it is only necessary to measure one side. If the shape is a rectangle or a parallelogram, it is necessary to measure the two non-parallel sides.

two

Multiply the side measured by 4 to find the perimeter if it has a square. Multiply the two non-parallel sides by 2 and add the results to find the perimeter of a rectangle or a parallelogram.

3

The four sides are added to find the perimeter if the figure is not a square, rectangle or a parallelogram.
