Question 565479: the perimeter of a square garden is 352 foot how long is each side?
Answer by Leaf W.(135)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of a figure is found by adding the lengths of the sides. In a square, all side lengths are the same, and there are four sides. As a result, if one side length is x, then the perimeter of the square is x + x + x + x, or 4x. We can use this to create an equation based on the fact that the perimeter is 352:
4x = 352
Now, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4:
x = 88
Therefore, each side of the square garden is 88 feet long.
Good luck! =)
