Lesson Steps

Step	Type	Explanation	Answer
1	Problem	The perimeter of a square is 28 meters. If you increase the side length by 2 meters,what will be the new perimeter?
2	Step	Perimeter of a square is	28 cm
3	Step	The perimeter of a square is 28 cm, and the perimeter means the sum of all four sides.
4	Step	Here, we want to find the sides.
5	Hint	To find the sides of a square by using	p = 4s s = \$p/4\$

7	Step	After simplification the s value is	s = 7
8	Step	So, the original side length of the square is 7 meters.
9	Step	If you increase the side length by 2 meters, the new side length will be:	New side length = 7 mtrs + 2 mtrs ⇒ 9 mtrs
10	Step	Now, we can find the new perimeter of the square with the increased side length:	New perimeter = 4 * new side length ⇒ p = 4 * 9 ⇒ 36 mtrs

Problem

The perimeter of a square is 28 meters. If you increase the side length by 2 meters,what will be the new perimeter?

Step

Perimeter of a square is

28 cm

Step

The perimeter of a square is 28 cm, and the perimeter means the sum of all four sides.

Step

Here, we want to find the sides.

Hint

To find the sides of a square by using

p = 4s

s = \$p/4\$

Step

Substitute the values

s = \$28/4\$

Step

After simplification the s value is

s = 7

Step

So, the original side length of the square is 7 meters.

Step

If you increase the side length by 2 meters, the new side length will be:

New side length = 7 mtrs + 2 mtrs

⇒ 9 mtrs

Step

Now, we can find the new perimeter of the square with the increased side length:

New perimeter = 4 * new side length

⇒ p = 4 * 9

⇒ 36 mtrs

Step

So, the new perimeter of the square with a side length increased by 2 meters is 36 mtrs.
