A square park has an area of 6561 square meters. If you walk around the park what is the distance that you would have walked?

The area of a square is the side of the square squared or A = s^2 (s meaning side of the square)

Perimeter or the 4 sides is P = 4 x s

Since the area is 6561, plug that into the area formula so you get 6561 = s^2

Next, take the square root of both sides of the equation because that is the opposite of squaring a number)

When you do that you get s = 81

Now that you know s, plug it into the Perimeter formula P = 4 x 81

The perimeter or distance around the park is 324 meters.
