A square has a perimeter of 48 \text{ cm}48 cm48, start text, space, c, m, end text. What is the length of one side of the square?

The length of one side of the square is 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

If s represents the length of one side of the square, then the perimeter of the square is P = 48 cm = 4s, where 48 cm is given and s is to be determined.

Dividing both sides by 4, we get s = 12 cm.

The length of one side of the square is 12 cm.

something that characterises a right triangle is the fact that we may use pythagoras' theorem to find any one of its sides given that we have the length of the other two sides. here, we have the length of the hypotenuse, √(87) yd, and one other side, √(23) yd, thus we can easily find the length of the remaining side using pythagoras' theorem as defined below:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the length of the hypotenuse, and a and b are the lengths of the other two sides.

thus, given that c = √(87) and a = √(23), we may substitute these into the formula we defined above to get:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

(√87)^2 = (√23)^2 + b^2 (substitute c = √87 and a = √23 into the equation)

87 = 23 + b^2 (evaluate (√87)^2 = 87 and (√23)^2 = 23 - remember that the square root of a number, squared will equal that very same number)

64 = b^2 (subtract 23 from both sides)

√64 = b (take the square root of both sides)

8 = b (evaluate √64 = 8)

therefor, the length of the unknown leg in the right triangle is 8 yd (first answer).

no this is a nonlinear negative
