The perimeter of a square is 35 cm. What is the measure of each side?
Remember that
The perimeter of a square is
P=4b
where
b is the length side of the square
In this problem
we have
P=35 cm
substitute
35=4b
solve for b
Divide by 4 on both sides
35/4=b
rewrite
b=8.75 cm
therefore
the measure of each side is 8.75 cm
