Jorge · Answer 1

C. The perimeter of square ABCD is 4 times the perimeter of square PQRS.

Ace Kirby · Answer 2

C. The perimeter of square ABCD is 4 times the perimeter of square PQRS.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate this we can just put values into the sides of the squares, for example, we know that the side of ABCD is 4 times the side of PQRS, so if the side of PQRS is 1 unit, the side of ABCD will be 4 units.

The perimeter is calculated by adding all the sides, if a square has 4 equal sides the perimeter will be side x 4.

Perimeter of PQRS = 1 unit * 4 = 4

Perimeter od ABCD=4 units*4=16

So the perimeter of ABCD is four times the perimeter of square PQRS.
