The perimeter of a square garden is 288 feet How long is each side?

Answer 1

Perimeter of a rectangular field is 298 yards.if the length of the field is 96 yards, what is its width

Answer 2

The perimeter of the garden is the sum of the four sides, which we can call a, b, c, and d. Since the perimeter is 288 feet, their sum should be 288 feet. Therefore, a+b+c+d = 288. Because the garden is in the shape of a square, by definition a=b=c=d, so we can give a single variable to the number: a + a + a +a = 288. Simplified, 4a = 288. Divide both sides by 4 to yield 72. Therefore, each side is 72 feet long.
