Question

A square has a perimeter of 38 inches. We want to know the length of each side

Answer 1

i think it’s 9.5 because it’s a square so all the sides should be equal and you divide 38 by 4 because it has 4 sides

Answer 2

To find the length of each side (when you have the perimeter), you would take the perimeter and divide it by 4 due to the square having 4 sides.

Equation: perimeter (38)/number of sides (4)

Therefore, the length of each side is 9.5 or 9 1/2.

I hope this helps!
