What is perimeter of square?

Perimeter of square is defined as addition the lengths of the  square's four sides.

Diagonal = 6

Let,  side of square = a

a²+a² = 6²

2a² = 36

a² = 18

a = 3√2

Perimeter of the square = 4 × side of square

Perimeter of the square = 4 × 3√2

Perimeter of the square = 12√2 ≈ 20 in

Hence, the perimeter of the top of the basket is 20 in.
