Question

7. A piece of wire is 96 cm long. What will be the length of each side, if the string is used to form :
i) a square? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

length of string=96cm

If the string is used to form an square then the perimeter of the square=length of the string

=>4a=96

=> a=96/4

=>a=24

Answer 2

Given:

The wire is length 96cm long.

To Find:

A piece of wire is 96 cm long. What will be the length of each side, if the string is used to form :

i) A square?

Solution:

Given that, the wire is 96cm long. If it is used to form a square, then its perimeter will be equal to the lent of the wire.

Therefore, the perimeter of the square = 96cm

We know that, the perimeter of a square = 4 times a side of a square

Therefore, the length of a side of the square $=\frac{96}{4} = 24$cm.
