Answer:

36

Explanation:

In a Square,

perimeter (p) = 144

Length of side (L) = ?

we know,

p=4*L

144 = 4 *L

L = 144/4

L = 36

Since, All side of Square are equal . so,the length of each side is 36.

Note : you hadn't give unit in your question .

~~~~~~~~\text{Perimeter of square} = 144\\\\\implies 4 * \text{Side} = 144\\\\\implies \text{Side} = \frac{144}4\\\\\implies \text{Side} = 36\\\\\text{Hence the length of each side is 36 units.}
