Question

Find the side of the square whose perimeter is:

(i) 16 m
(ii) 40 cm
(iii) 22 cm

Answer 1

Side of a square = $\frac{Perimeter}{4}$
(i) Perimeter = 16 m
$\therefore$ Side of this square = $\frac{16}{4}$ = 4 m
(ii) Perimeter = 40 cm
$\therefore$ Side of this square = $\frac{40}{4}$ = 10 cm
(iii) Perimeter = 22 cm
$\therefore$ Side of this square = $\frac{22}{4}$ = 5. 5cm
