Answer: 2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

We know a square has four equal sides and that the perimeter is the length around the shape.

8 ft / 4 = 2 ft

Therefore, the length of each side is 2 ft

Answer:

the length of each side is 2ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a square = 4l

where l is the length of one side

Perimeter = 8ft

8 = 4l

Divide both sides by 4


l = (8)/(4) \\ l = 2

Since a square has equal sides the length of each side is 2ft
