Question

A piece of wire is $750cm$long. What will be the length of each side if the wire is used to form a square.

Answer 1

Finding the length of the side of square:

According to the question, lenth of the wire will be equal to perimter of the square.

Therefore,

Perimeter of square$=4\times side$

$750=4\times side$

$$\begin{gathered} side=\frac{750}{4} \\ side=187.5cm \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the perimeter of the side of a square is $187.5cm$
