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\$

6

Step

Substitute the values

\$s = (28)/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 \times "new side length"\$
\$p = 4 \times 9 = 36\$ mtrs

11

Solution

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