Formulas for Square

You just need to learn three formulas to calculate the missing value in a square based on one known value.

square diagram
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 on 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.
