Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 9 \ meters}$

Step-by-step 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.

$\frac{36 \ m }{4} =\frac{4s}{4}$

$\frac{36 \ m}{4}=s$

$9 \ m =s$

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

$p = 4x$

$36 = 4x$

$x = \frac{36}{4}$

$x = 9m$
