Q. The perimeter of a square painting is

12

feet. How long is each side of the painting?

\newline

_____ feet

Identify Side Length: Let $s$ be the side length of the square. The perimeter of a square is calculated by adding up all four sides, which are equal. So, the formula for the perimeter of a square is $P = 4s$ .
Substitute Perimeter: Given the perimeter of the square painting is $12$ feet. Substitute $12$ for $P$ in the formula $P = 4s$ . $12 = 4s$ .
Solve for Side Length: Solve for $s$ by dividing both sides of the equation by $4$ . $\frac{12}{4} = s$ . $3 = s$ .
