\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "I know to find the area of a square I would use the formula 20= 2(X) and the perimeter would be Perimeter= X+X+X+X, however, when I attempt to solve for each side of the square, I get 5 and 4 centimeters: this is a complication because a square requires all sides to be equal to each other. Please help. \n" );
