The perimeter of a square is represented by x. What expression represents the length of one side of the square?

1 answer

The perimeter of a square is given by the formula:

\[ P = 4s \]

where \( P \) is the perimeter and \( s \) is the length of one side of the square. If the perimeter is represented by \( x \), we can set up the equation:

\[ x = 4s \]

To find the length of one side \( s \), we can solve for \( s \) by dividing both sides by 4:

\[ s = \frac{x}{4} \]

Thus, the expression that represents the length of one side of the square is:

\[ \frac{x}{4} \]
