The side of the square is equal to a, specify the formula for the dependence of the perimeter of the square p on a
The side of the square is equal to a, specify the formula for the dependence of the perimeter of the square p on a, find the value of the function corresponding to the value of the argument equal to 3.7; 11.2.
The perimeter is the sum of all the sides of the polygon. In a square, all four sides are equal.
Therefore, the perimeter of the square can be calculated using the formula:
p = 4 * a, (1) where “p” is the perimeter of the square, “a” is the side of the square.
An argument is a variable whose value we can change. In this formula (1), the argument is the length of the side of the square – “a”.
A function is the result obtained after calculating a formula with the selected argument value.
I) a = 3.7.
p = 4 * a = 4 * 3.7 = 14.8.
II) a = 11.2.
p = 4 * a = 4 * 11.2 = 44.8.
