Answer:

20 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

area of square = (side)^2

area of square = 25 ft^2

(side)^2 = 25 ft^2

side = 5 ft since (5 ft)^2 = 25 ft^2

The side of the square measures 5 ft.

All around the square is the perimeter.

perimeter = 4 * side

perimeter = 4 * 5 ft

perimeter = 20 ft

Answer: 20 ft
