Answer:

10m

Explanation:

Perimeter means adding up all of the sides of a shape.

One property of a square is that all lengths of a square are the same.

We also know squares have 4 sides.

Lets set up an expression to solve the length for each side with variable S representing the length of a side:

4 * S = 40

Divide each side by 4:

S = 10

Therefore, each side of the square has a length 10m
