Question: 273

3. If the area of a square is equal to its perimeter, what is the length of one side?

  • A. 1
  • B. 2
  • C. 4
  • D. 8

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C Since the question asks for a specific value, use PITA to answer this question, starting with (C). If the side length of a square is 4, its perimeter is 16 because 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 16 and its area is also 16 because 42 = 16. Since those are equal, stop here. The correct answer is (C).
