Question

If the perimeter of a square is 200 cm, then the length of each side of this square is

• A. 20 cm
• B. 40 cm
• C. 50 cm
• D. 100 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is C

50 cm

We know that the perimeter of any square is four times the length of a side.

i.e., If 's' length of a side of a square, then its perimeter 'P' is given by $P=4\times s$

Given, P = 200 cm . Then the length of each side of the given square is,

$s=\frac{P}{4}=\frac{200}{4}=50$ centimetres
