Let PQRS be a square piece of paper. P is folded onto R and then Q is folded onto S. The area of the resulting figure is 9 square inches. Find the perimeter of square PQRS.

24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

After folding the piece of paper, the result will be 1/4 the size of the original square. If you multiply the are of the triangle by 4, you will find that the area of the original square is 36 square inches.  The square root of 36 is 6, which shows us that the length of each side of the square is 6. To get the perimeter, multiply 6 by 4 to get 24 inches.

Step by Step Explanation: You find the total area by finding length x width from the side of a shape, you then add the total area together.
