The perimeter of the square is 24.8 cm. One of its sides is changed by 1.2 cm. Find the perimeter of the resulting square.

Let us determine by how many centimeters the perimeter of the new square has changed, knowing by the condition of the problem that the original length of the side of the square was reduced by 1.2 centimeters:

1.2 * 4 = 4.8.

Let us determine the perimeter of the square with a reduced side, knowing by the condition of the problem that the perimeter of the original square is 24.8 centimeters:

24.8 – 4.8 = 20.

Answer: The perimeter of the new square is 20 centimeters.
