• If the perimeter of a square is 36 inches.

`\:`

`\bold{\underline{To\:Find : -}}`

• how long is each side?

`\:`

`\bold{\underline{Solution : -}}`

Perimeter square = 4 × side

36 = 4 × side

side = 36 ÷ 4

side = 9inches

Answer 2

Each side of the square is
`9 \:\text{inches}`.

Explanation:

Given: Perimeter of a square is 36 inches.

To find: Side of the square.

Solution:

We have,

Perimeter of a square
`=36` inches.

We know that perimeter of a square
`= 4 * \text {side}`.

Now, let side of the square be
`x \:\text{inches}`

Perimeter
`=36 \:\text{inches}`

`\implies 4* x=36`

`\implies x=(36)/(4)`

`\implies x=9`

Therefore, each side of the square is
`9 \:\text{inches}`.
