The perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides. Since all sides of a square are equal in length, we can find the length of one side by dividing the total perimeter by the number of sides.
In this case, the perimeter of the square is 36 cm. Since a square has four sides, we divide the perimeter by 4 to find the length of one side.
Side length = perimeter / number of sides = 36 cm / 4 = 9 cm
To convert the length from cm to m, we divide by 100 since there are 100 centimeters in a meter.
Side length in meters = 9 cm / 100 = 0.09 m
Therefore, the length of one side of the square is 0.09 m.
