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

Perimeter = Side * 4

Thus, 240 inches = Side * 4

So, 240 / 4 = Side

Therefore, Side =  60 inches

The length of one side of Steve's dog kennel (pen) is 60 inches.

Answer 2

Answer: 60 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The perimeter of a square dog pen = 240 inches

We know that the perimeter of a square is given by :-

$\text{Perimeter= 4(side)}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{side}=\frac{\text{Perimeter}}{}$

Now, the side of square dog pen :-

$\text{side}=\frac{\text{240}}{4}=60\text{ inches}$
