🆕 New Concept Discovered: Perimeter of a Square
The total distance around the outside of a square.

Step 1: Identify the side length

A square has four equal sides. From the given information:

$$ l = w = 8\text{ cm} $$

Each of the 4 sides of the square has a length of \( 8\text{ cm} \).

Step 2: Calculate the perimeter

The perimeter \( P \) is the total distance around the shape, which is the sum of all four sides:

$$ P = 4 \times \text{side length} $$

$$ P = 4 \times 8\text{ cm} = 32\text{ cm} $$

Answer:

32
