Question

My teacher didn't give me a picture but the questions says???

The perimeter of a square is 60 inches find the length of each square....

Please show work

Answer 1

Since the sides of a square are all equal and the perimeter is just the sum of the side lengths we can say:

p=4s  and you are told that p=60 so

60=4s  divide both sides by 4

15=s

So each side of the square is 15 inches.

Answer 2

First, the perimeter of the square equal length times 4,and we already know that the perimeter is 60 inches,so we just need to divide 60 to 4 to get 15 inches, and the side length of the square is 15 inches. Hope it help!
