Question

A 36-foot long fence is placed around a square garden. What is the length of one side of the garden? (1 point)

4 feet
6 feet
9 feet
12 feet

Answer 1

36/4 = 9 Feet on Each Side

Answer 2

If we know the length of the fence around a garden, we know the garden's perimeter. We also know that the garden is a square. Since squares have four sides that are each the same length, we know that the length of 1 side will be 36 feet / 4, or 9 feet.
