Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The perimeter of a square is the sum of the lengths of all four sides. 
Let's call the length of one side of the square "s". 
According to the problem, the perimeter (P) is equal to 4 times s.
So, P = 4s
We know that the length of one side of the square is 2.7 meters, so s = 2.7m. 
Substitute s = 2.7m into the equation P = 4s
P = 4(2.7m) = 10.8m

Therefore, the perimeter of the square whose side measures 2.7m is 10.8m. The answer is C.
