Question

1. the perimeter of a square is 84 feet. what is the length of one side of the square?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the perimeter of a square

The perimeter \(P\) of a square is given by \(P = 4s\), where \(s\) is the length of a side.

Step2: Solve for \(s\)

We know \(P=84\) feet. Substitute into the formula: \(84 = 4s\). Then, divide both sides by \(4\): \(s=\frac{84}{4}\).

$$s = 21$$

Answer:

The length of one side of the square is \(21\) feet.
