Question

A square has a perimeter of 36 m. What is the length of each side

Answer 1

`\boxed {\tt 9 \ meters}`

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square can be found by adding up all four sides.

`p=s+s+s+s`

Since all the sides are equal, we can also multiply the side length by 4.

`p=4s`

We know the perimeter is 36 meters, so we can substitute 36 m in for p.

`36 \ m=4s`

We want to solve for s, so we must isolate it. s is being multiplied by 4. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides of the equation by 4.

`(36 \ m )/(4) =(4s)/(4)`

`(36 \ m)/(4)=s`

`9 \ m =s`

The length of each side is 9 meters.

Answer 2

_______________________________________

Question:

A square has a perimeter of 36 m. What is the length of each side

_______________________________________

Given:

→perimeter of square=36m

_______________________________________

We know:

p=4×side

_______________________________________

Step by step explanation

`p = 4x`

`36 = 4x`

`x = (36)/(4)`

`x = </strong><strong>9</strong><strong>m`
