Question

The perimeter of a square is 96cm find the length of a side of the square

Answer 1

The formula for the perimeter of a square is given by

`P=4\cdot s`

Where s represents the length of each side.

If P=96 cm

Replace the p variable and solve for s:

`96\text{ =4}\cdot s`

Divide both sides by 4

`(96)/(4)=(4\cdot s)/(4)`
`24\text{ = s}`

Therefore, for each side s, the length is 24 cm.
