Question

if a square has a perimiter of 40 yards what is the length of one side of the square?

Answer 1

Answer:

10 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a square is given by

$P=4l$, L is the length of each side

From the the question, the perimeter,P of the square is 40 yards.

so by substitution we obtain,

$4l = 40$

Dividing through by 4

$\frac{4l}{4} = \frac{40}{4}$

$\implies l = 10$
