Answer:

Perimeter of square = [tex]12\sqrt{2}\,\,inches[/tex].

None of the given options is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of diagonal of the square = 6 inches

To find: perimeter of square

Solution:

Let x denotes side of square

Diagonal of square = [tex]\sqrt{2}x[/tex]

Also,  length of diagonal of the square = 6 inches

So,

[tex]x=\frac{6}{\sqrt{2}}\\=\frac{6}{\sqrt{2}}\left ( \frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}} \right )\\=3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Perimeter refers to the distance around a two-dimensional shape.

Perimeter of square = 4×side

=[tex]4(3\sqrt{2})=12\sqrt{2}\,\,inches[/tex]

So, none of the given options is correct.
