Question

The fencing of a square garden is 20 m in length. How long is one side of the garden?

Answer 1

Length of the fencing of square garden = 20 m
We know that a square has 4 sides and all its sides are equal.

So, length of each side of a square = $\frac{\mathrm{Length}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{fencing}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{garden}}{\mathrm{Number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{sides}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{square}}$
= $\frac{20}{4}$
= 5 m
