Question

What is the length of the side of a square whose perimeter is 36 cm ?

Answer 1

We know that all the sides of a square are equal. Therefore, square has 4 sides and the perimeter will be divided by four (all the sides are equal).

So, 36/4 = 9

Answer = 9 cm

Answer 2

perimeter --> 36 cm

p = 4a

36 = 4a

a= 36/4

a= 9cm


the length of the side of the square is 9cm

in this answer
p= perimeter
a= side of the square
