To find the perimeter of a square when given the area, you need to first determine the side length of the square by taking the square root of the area. In this case, the area of the square is 45 cubic units.
1. Calculate the side length of the square:
- √45 ≈ 6.71 (rounded to two decimal places)
2. Once you have the side length, you can find the perimeter by multiplying the side length by 4 since all sides of a square are equal:
- Perimeter = 6.71 * 4 = 26.84 units
Therefore, the perimeter of the square with an area of 45 cubic units is approximately 26.84 units. This corresponds to option C: 24√5 units.
