Answer:

x<29

Explanation:

I am assuming that it is a square and x is the length of a side.

There are four sides to a square. Therefore perimeter of the square would be 4x. Since the perimeter should be less than 116, we can set up the following inequality:

4x<116

we can simply solve this by x<116/4, which gives us x<29

I hope this makes sense to you. I am generally good with following up with additional questions. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions or you can also message me as well!
