It would be bigger than 1/2 inches because they are simply asking for the difference which is 5 1/2-5= 1/2.

The perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 1/2 inches is 2 inches greater than a square with a length of 5 inches

Given that P=4S.

where P=Perimeter, S= side length.

So the perimeter of a square with a side length of [tex]5\frac{1}{2} =5.5[/tex] inches is:

[tex]P=4(5.5)=22[/tex]

The perimeter of a square with a side length of 5 inches is:

P = 4(5) = 20.

So the difference is = 22 - 20 = 2
