Q. The perimeter of a square piece of tissue paper is

36

centimeters. How long is each side of the tissue paper?

\newline

_____ centimeters

Understand the problem: Understand the problem. $\newline$ We need to find the length of one side of a square when we know the perimeter of the square. $\newline$ A square has four equal sides, so the perimeter of a square is four times the length of one side.
Set up the equation: Set up the equation. $\newline$ Let the length of one side of the square be $x$ centimeters. $\newline$ The perimeter $P$ of a square is given by $P = 4 \times x$ . $\newline$ We know the perimeter is $36$ centimeters, so we can write the equation as $36 = 4 \times x$ .
Solve for x: Solve for x. $\newline$ To find $x$ , we need to divide both sides of the equation by $4$ . $\newline$ $36 \div 4 = x$ $\newline$ $x = 9$
Check the result: Check the result. $\newline$ If each side of the square is $9$ centimeters, then the total perimeter would be $9 \, \text{cm} \times 4 = 36 \, \text{cm}$ , which matches the given perimeter.
