She is used:

350 ft - 110 ft = 240 ft of fence

Perimeter of a square :

P = 4 a

4 a = 240 ft Divide both sides by 4

a = 60 ft

To find the length of one side of the square, we need to subtract the remaining fence from the total fence and divide it by 4 (since a square has 4 equal sides):

Total fence - Remaining fence = Fence used for the square

Let's calculate:

350 feet - 110 feet = 240 feet

Now, we divide the fence used for the square by 4:

240 feet ÷ 4 = 60 feet

Therefore, the length of one side of the square is 60 feet.

To determine the length of one side of the square, we need to subtract the amount of fence Marcia has left from the original total fence.

First, let's find out how much fence she used to enclose the square. Since all sides of a square have the same length, we can assume the square has sides of length 'x'. The perimeter of a square is given by the formula: perimeter = 4 * side length.

In this case, Marcia has used 350 feet of fence to enclose the square. Therefore, we have: 350 = 4x.

Now, we can solve for 'x' by dividing both sides of the equation by 4: 350 / 4 = x. Simplifying further, we get 87.5 = x.

This means that each side of the square has a length of 87.5 feet.
