Answer:
The length of each side of the frame is 5 inches.
Explanation:
Given a square-shaped picture frame with:
• The perimeter = 20 inches
,• The area = 25 square inches
We want to find the length of each side of the frame.
The perimeter of a square of side length, s is calculated using the formula:
[tex]P=4s[/tex]Substitute P=20:
[tex]20=4s[/tex]Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{20}{4}=\frac{4s}{4} \\ s=5\text{ inches} \end{gathered}[/tex]The length of each side of the frame is 5 inches.
