example 1:ex 1:

Find the area of a square of diagonal $d = 12 cm$.

example 2:ex 2:

Find the side of the square whose perimeter is $d = 14 cm$.

example 3:ex 3:

Find the diagonal of the square whose area is $A = 18 cm^2$.

Formulas for Square

To calculate missing value in square, based on one known value, you need to remember just three formulas.

F1:

$$ P = 4 \cdot a $$

a = side

d = diagonal

A = area

P = perimeter

F2:

$$ A = a^2 $$

F3:

$$ d = a \cdot \sqrt{2} $$

The diagram at the right shows when to use each of these formulas.

Example 1:

If you are given diagonal d and you want to calculate side a, then you need to use formula which connects d and a.

Example 2:

If you are given area A and you want to calculate perimeter P then you need to make two steps to calculate perimeter. In first step you apply formula which connects area A and side a after that use formula which connects side a and perimeter P.
