he perimeter of a square office is 32 feet. How long is each side of the office?


feet

1 answer

The perimeter \( P \) of a square is given by the formula:

\[ P = 4s \]

where \( s \) is the length of one side of the square. Given that the perimeter is 32 feet, we can set up the equation:

\[ 4s = 32 \]

To find the length of each side, divide both sides by 4:

\[ s = \frac{32}{4} = 8 \]

Therefore, each side of the office is 8 feet long.
