Question

The perimeter of a square is 248 cms. Can you find the length of each side of the square?

• A. 124 cms
• B. 31 cms
• C. 93 cms
• D. 62 cms

Answer 1

The correct option is D

62 cms

Let the length of each side of the square = “p” cms

Perimeter of a square $=4\times \text{length of each side}$

Hence 4p = Perimeter of the given square

Forming an equation:

4p = 248

$=p=\frac{248}{4}=62\text{cms}$
