The perimeter of a square family room is 32 meters. How long is each side?


meters

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 meters, we can set up the equation:

\[ 32 = 4s \]

Now, we can solve for \( s \):

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

\[ s = 8 \]

Therefore, each side of the square family room is 8 meters long.
