Question

The perimeter of a square is 126 in. What is the length of a square's side?

Answer 1

`P=31.5` `"in."`

Explanation:

The `perimeter` of any polygon is the total length of all the sides added together. Since this is a square, we only have `4` sides to worry about.

In this problem, we are already given the `perimeter`. What we are trying to find is the length of each side.

Knowing that on a square, all sides being equal in length, we need only divide our value of the `perimeter` by `4`.

So we should get:

`126` `"in"` `/4`

`=>31.5` `"in."`
