A square has a perimeter of 44 cm. the lengths in centimeters of two sides are consecutive even integers. Find the lengths of its sides.
Thank you

There is something wrong with the question. The lengths of the sides of a square are equal. If the perimeter is 44 cm then each side is 11 cm.
p=4s
44=4s
s=11
