BAre the length of the side of the square related proportionally? Why or why not?

Verified Answer :

Yes, they are. A square has the same measurement for all four sides. Unlike a parallelogram which is slanted and uneven.

Answer:

The answer is yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, the length of a side of a square and the perimeter of the square are related proportionally.

Let the side of the square be a.

So, perimeter is given as = \(a+a+a+a=4a\)

Or we can say = \(4\times a=4a\)

We can see, that the perimeter is always 4 times the side length of the square.

Example:

Suppose the side of the square is 4 cm.

So, perimeter = \(4\times4=16\) cm
