NWEA Math 5th Grade Practice Test

To find the perimeter of a square, you use the formula: perimeter = 4 × side length. In this case, each side of the square is 6 units long.

By substituting the value into the formula:

Perimeter = 4 × 6 = 24.

This calculation shows that the perimeter of the square is indeed 24 units. Understanding that a square has four equal sides is key to solving this problem, and using multiplication is the correct approach to find the total distance around the square. Therefore, the conclusion that the perimeter is 24 is accurate and follows directly from applying the formula for the perimeter of a square.
