Question

1. what is the perimeter of this square?

19

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the perimeter of a square

The perimeter \(P\) of a square is given by \(P = 4s\), where \(s\) is the side - length of the square.

Step2: Substitute the side - length into the formula

Here, \(s=\frac{3}{8}\) in. So, \(P = 4\times\frac{3}{8}\).

Step3: Simplify the expression

\(4\times\frac{3}{8}=\frac{4\times3}{8}=\frac{12}{8}=\frac{3}{2}=1.5\) in.

Answer:

\(1.5\) inches or \(\frac{3}{2}\) inches
