Question 165422: "a square piece of land is enclosed with fencing and then divided in half by additional fencing parallel to two of the sides. If 125m of fencing are used, what is the length of one side of the piece."
Would I be correct if I used the following equation:
125m / 5 sides = 25m/side
Therefore, the length of one side is 25m.

yes, normally for a square the Perimeter is P=4L in this case we have an addtional length equal to other sides to add, so 4L+L=P or 5L=125 and L=25m as you stated.....
