Question

A square has a perimeter of $24cm$. Find the length of its side.

Answer 1

Finding the length of the side of the square:

Given perimeter of square=24 cm

The perimeter of the square =4$a$

where a is the length of the side of the square

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Perimeter}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{square}=4\mathrm{a} \\ 4a=24 \\ a=\frac{24}{4} \\ a=6cm \end{gathered}$$

Hence the length of side of square is 6 cm.
