What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of 5?

The correct answer is: 20

To determine the perimeter of a square, you should remember the formula: Perimeter = 4 times the length of one side. In this case, the side length of the square is 5. Using the formula: Perimeter = 4 × 5 = 20. This calculation shows that the perimeter of the square is indeed 20 units. This confirms that the correct answer is the one stating a perimeter of 20. The other options provided do not match the calculation, which is why they represent incorrect measurements for the perimeter of a square with the given side length.
