The formula for the perimeter (P) of a square with sides length S is:&lt;BR&gt;
P = 4S.  Divide both sides by 4 to find the length of a side.&lt;P&gt;

P/4 = S.&lt;P&gt;

In this problem we&#39;re given a maximum P (225 inches).  So S must be no bigger than a length that will result in 225 inches.  That is: &lt;BR&gt;
S &lt;= P/4  Which is S &lt;= 225/4.  That gives:  S &lt;= 56.25 inches.&lt;P&gt;

Sides can be any length equal to 56.25 inches, or smaller than 56.25 inches.
