If a square has sides measuring , what is the perimeter of the square, in simplest form?
To find the perimeter of a square, you must add together all the sides. In this case, we are adding four times.
Since all of the denominators are the same, there is no need to find a commond denominator, so we add together the numerators. This gives us .
Since both the numerator and denomator are divisible by four, we must simplify this fraction.
The perimeter of the square is .
