Question

If the perimeter of a square is 36 inches, how long is each side?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each side of the square is $9 \:\text{inches}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:  Perimeter of a square is 36 inches.

To find: Side of the square.

Solution:

We have,

Perimeter of a square $=36$ inches.

We know that perimeter of a square $= 4 \times \text {side}$.

Now, let side of the square be $x \:\text{inches}$

Perimeter $=36 \:\text{inches}$

$\implies 4\times x=36$

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

$\implies x=9$

Therefore, each side of the square is $9 \:\text{inches}$.
