Question

Steve built a square dog pen that has a perimeter of 240 inches.
What is the length of one side of Steve's dog pen?

Answer 1

Let "a" be the side of the square dog pen.

We know that perimeter of square = 4a

Now 240 = 4a
a = 240÷4 = 60 inches

So length of one side of Steve's dog pen is 60 inches

Hope This Helps You!

Answer 2

Perimeter of Steve's dog pen = 240 inches
Perimeter of square = 4× side
4× side= 240
side= 60 inches
Therefore the length of all sides of Steve's dog pen is 60 inches
