Answer:

each side of the square is 25cm

Explanation:

this is because of two things:

1. a square has equal sides

2. the perimeter is all the sides added together.

so if you call the length of one side x, you can make this equation:

x + x + x + x = 100

combine like terms

4x = 100

divide both sides by 4

x = 100/4

x = 25
