Answer :

Answer:

89.44 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first define what perimeter and area are with respect to a square in 2-D coordinates

Square

A square is a 4-sided figure whose sides are all the same length

If we represent each side of the square with the letter a, then

  • Area = a * a = a²   (square units)
  • Perimeter = a + a + a + a = 4a (units)

We are given that the area of the square is 500 square units

That means if each side is a, then
a² = 500

a = √500 units

Perimeter = 4 * a

= 4 * √500

= 89.44 units  (to the nearest hundredth which  is 2 decimal places)
