Question

the fencing of a square garden is 20 meter in length.How long is one side of the garden?

Answer 1

perimeter = 4 x side
20/4 = 5 meter

Answer 2

The side of the garden is 5 meter long.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the fencing is done all around the garden.

That means it is done for the perimeter.

So, Perimeter of the garden = 20 m.

Since the garden is in square shape, so we use the formula of perimeter of a square.

$Perimeter=4a$

Where 'a' is the side.

On putting the values, we get;

$4a=20\\\\a=\frac{20}{4}=5\ m$

Hence The side of the garden is 5 meter long.
