A sewing club is making a quilt consisting of 25 squares with each side measuring 30cm. if the quilt has 5 rows and 5 columns. determine the perimeter of the quilt and calculate the total area of the quilt?

To find the length of the sides of the quilt multiply the length of each square by how many squares make up that side

30 cm · 5 squares = 150 cm (this is for both length and width because this quilt is a square)

For a square, perimeter=4·side, or all sides added together

p=4·150cm

p=600cm

Area of a square is length · width

A=150 cm·150 cm

A=22,500 cm²
