Answer 1

25 feet each.  All you have to do is divide the perimeter by how many sides.

Answer 2

25 feet.

Explanation:

Given : The perimeter of a square is 100 feet .

The area is 625 square feet .

To Find: What is the length of each side?

Solution:

Let the side of square be x

Formula of perimeter of square =
`4 * side`

Perimeter of square =
`4 * x`

The perimeter of a square is 100 feet .

So,
`100=4 * x`

`(100)/(4)=x`

`25=x`

Area of square =
`Side^2`

=
`(25)^2`

=
`625 ft^2`

The calculated area is same as the given area.

Hence the side of the square sis 25 feet.
