P = 2L + 2W
In the case of a square, P = 4L (length and width are the same size)
128 < P < 186
128/4 sides = 32
186/4 sides = 46.5
32 < L < 46.5 (side length must be greater than 32 and less than 46.5)

The perimeter of a square must be greater than 128 inches but less than 186 inches. Find the range of possible side lengths that satisfy these conditions.

Perimeter of square, with each side being, S: 4S
Thus, we have: 128+%3C+4S+%3C+186
128%2F4+%3C+4S%2F4+%3C+186%2F4 ------ Dividing by 4
32+%3C+S+%3C+46%262%2F4
Range of side lengths: highlight_green%2832+%3C+S+%3C+46%261%2F2%29
