The perimeter of a square room is 48 yards
Find the length of a side of the room
The perimeter of a square is found by multiplying the length of one side by 4.
So in this case,
48 yards = 4s
where s is the length of one side.
To solve for s, divide both sides by 4:
s = 12 yards
Therefore, the length of a side of the room is 12 yards.
