Hi,

Let s represent the length of each side of the Square:

 P = 28ft = s + s + s + +s 

     28ft = 4s

       s = 7ft, the length of each side of the Square

a square has a perimeter of 28 feet: P=4a were a is the length of side

if you have a square, all sides have equal length
P=28ft
P=4a....->....a=P%2F4...->....a=28ft%2F4..->....a=7ft

The perimeter of a square is given by multiplying the measure of a side by 4. So divide the perimeter by 4.
