The perimeter of the plastic square is 32 cm, and the cardboard is 44 cm. How much is the side of the cardboard

The perimeter of the plastic square is 32 cm, and the cardboard is 44 cm. How much is the side of the cardboard square longer than the side of the plastic one?

Before you can determine how many cm the length of the cardboard square is longer, you need to find the length of each square.

Since the square has 4 equal sides, for this you need to divide the perimeter value by the number of sides.

We get:

32/4 = 8 cm (the length of the side of the plastic square).

44/4 = 11 cm (the length of the side of the cardboard square).

Find the difference in lengths.

We subtract from the length of the side of the cardboard square the length of the side of the plastic square.

Will:

11 – 8 = 3 cm.

Answer:

3 cm more.
