Question

The perimeter of a square is 4 cms. Can you find the length of each side of the square?

• A. 1 cm
• B. 4 cms
• C. 3 cms
• D. 6 cms

Answer 1

The correct option is A

1 cm

Let $p$ be the side of the square.

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

Hence 4p = Perimeter of the given square

Forming an equation:

$4p=4$

$\Rightarrow p=\frac{4}{4}=1\text{cms}$
