The correct Answer is:
To determine the perimeter of a square, we can analyze the two statements provided: **Question**: What is the perimeter of the square? ### Step 1: Analyze Statement I **Statement I**: The measure of one of its sides is given. - Let the length of one side of the square be denoted as \( s \). - The formula for the perimeter \( P \) of a square is given by: \[ P = 4 \times s \] - Since we have the measure of one side, we can directly calculate the perimeter using this formula. **Conclusion for Statement I**: This statement alone is sufficient to find the perimeter of the square. ### Step 2: Analyze Statement II **Statement II**: The measure of its diagonal is given. - Let the length of the diagonal be denoted as \( d \). - The relationship between the side length \( s \) of a square and its diagonal \( d \) is given by the formula: \[ d = s \sqrt{2} \] - From this, we can express the side length in terms of the diagonal: \[ s = \frac{d}{\sqrt{2}} \] - Now, substituting this expression for \( s \) into the perimeter formula: \[ P = 4 \times s = 4 \times \left(\frac{d}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = \frac{4d}{\sqrt{2}} = 2\sqrt{2} \times d \] - Thus, we can also calculate the perimeter using the diagonal. **Conclusion for Statement II**: This statement alone is also sufficient to find the perimeter of the square. ### Final Conclusion Since both statements I and II are sufficient on their own to determine the perimeter of the square, the correct answer is: **Answer**: D - Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question. ---
