Answer:

6 feet

Explanation:

Given that,

The perimeter of the square, P = 24 feet

We need to find the side of the square.

The perimeter of a square is given by the formula as follows :


P=4a

Where

a is the side length

So,


a=(P)/(4)\\\\a=(24)/(4)\\\\a=6\ feet

So, the side of each log be 6 feet.
