Half of the perimeter of a square is 50 cm. What is the length of each side of the square?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
We know that,
Perimeter of square = 4 × length of each side
Given,
Half of the perimeter of a square is 50 cm.
Formula:
Let's assume that the length of each side of the square is "a" cm.
Half of the perimeter of the square is given as 50 cm = (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) × 4a = 50
=2a = 50
=a = 25
