A square garden has a side length of 5 meters. What is the perimeter of the garden?

Solution: Since each side is 5 meters, the perimeter is 4 times the side length, which is 20 meters.

A square playground has an area of 144 square feet. What is the length of one side of the playground?
Solution: To find the side length, take the square root of the area, so the side length is 12 feet.

A farmer wants to fence off a square field with a perimeter of 80 meters. How long should each side
of the field be?
Solution: To find the side length, divide the perimeter by 4, which gives a side length of 20 meters.

A square tile has an area of 16 square centimeters. What is the perimeter of the tile?
Solution: Since the area is 16, each side is 4 centimeters (square root of 16). The perimeter is then 4
times the side length, which is 16 centimeters.

A rectangular room is 10 meters long and 8 meters wide. If you want to tile the floor with square tiles,
what is the side length of the largest square tile that can fit perfectly in the room without any gaps?
Solution: Find the greatest common factor of 10 and 8, which is 2, so the side length of the square tile
would be 2 meters.

A square park has a walking path around its perimeter. If the path is 2 meters wide and the area of
the park itself is 100 square meters, what is the total area of the park including the path?
Solution: Each side of the park is 10 meters (square root of 100). With the path, each side becomes 14
meters, so the total area is 196 square meters.

A square piece of paper has a diagonal length of 10√2 centimeters. What is the area of the paper?
Solution: In a square, the diagonal divides the square into two 45-45-90 triangles. Since the diagonal is
10√2, each side of the square is 10 centimeters, so the area is 100 square centimeters.

Other examples of word problems involving perimeter and area of a rectangle:


 A rectangular room is 12 feet long and 8 feet wide. How much carpet is needed to cover
the floor (area), and how much trim is needed to go around the room (perimeter)?
 A poster is 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. What is its total area, and how much
framing material is needed to go around the poster (perimeter)?
 A rectangular swimming pool has a perimeter of 50 meters. If the length is 15 meters,
what is the width of the pool?
 A farmer wants to fence off a rectangular area for his chickens. If he has 20 meters of
fencing, and he wants the length to be twice the width, what are the dimensions of the
rectangular area?
