Haley and Madison are arguing over a math problem. Haley insists that a square with a area of 196 square units is bigger than Madison’s square that has a perimeter of 196 units. Who is correct and why?

Respuesta :

Perimeter of a square is:

4 * s

where s is the side length.

Area is:

s * s

So, we can set both of these values to 196.

4s = 196
s = 49

s * s = 196
s = 14

So, Madison is correct.

Hope this helped!
