Square Study Guide
A square is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and four right angles. The properties of a square include:
- All four sides are of equal length
- All four angles are right angles (90 degrees)
- The diagonals are of equal length and bisect each other at right angles
- The diagonals divide the square into four congruent right-angled triangles
- The perimeter of a square is given by P = 4s, where s is the length of a side
- The area of a square is given by A = s2, where s is the length of a side
To find the area and perimeter of a square, you can use the following formulas:
Perimeter (P) = 4 x side length (s)
Area (A) = side length (s) x side length (s)
Here's a sample problem to practice:
Problem: Find the perimeter and area of a square with a side length of 5 units.
Solution: To find the perimeter: P = 4 x 5 = 20 unitsTo find the area: A = 5 x 5 = 25 square units
Remember, the key to solving problems involving squares is to understand the properties and use the appropriate formulas to find the perimeter and area.

Connections to the Grade 5 Focal Points (NCTM)
Number and Operations: Building on their work in grade 4, students extend their understanding of place value to numbers through millions and millionths in various contexts. They apply what they know about multiplication of whole numbers to larger numbers. Students also explore contexts that they can describe with negative numbers (e.g., situations of owing money or measuring elevations above and below sea level).
