As you probably know, the perimeter of a square is 4 times one of its sides, I'll call that length.

P = Length * 4

Now if we know the perimeter you want, we can work backwards.

Length * 4 = 47

If we divide both sides by 4 we can get the length

Length = 47/4 = 11.75

It does not have an integer solution however, it is possible.
