Each side would be 12 inches long. Here's why:
* A square has 4 equal sides.
* Therefore, we can set up an equation 4x=48 because four sides times an unknown length (x) make the perimeter (4x is the same as x+x+x+x).
*So, we would divide both sides of 4x=48 by 4 to isolate x on its own
* 48/4=12. x=12 inches!
