Question 197029
Remember, the perimeter of a square is simply the sum of the four sides of a square (ie add up ALL of the 4 sides). To shorten it, we can multiply one side by 4 (since they're all equal). So if "s" is the side length, then {{{P=4s}}} is the perimeter.




{{{P=4s}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{32=4s}}} Plug in the given perimeter {{{P=32}}}



{{{32/4=s}}} Divide both sides by 4 to isolate "s".



{{{8=s}}} Reduce




So the side length is {{{s=8}}} which means that the side of the square is 8 inches long. 



Now that you have the side length, do you think you can continue? If not, repost or email me.
