Given:
Perimeter = 72
Determine the side lengths.
Since we are asked for the side lengths, then we will assume that the given shape is a square.
Formula for the perimeter of a square:
P = 4a
a = P /4
Solution:
Substitute the given value of Perimeter to the formula for the side in terms of the perimeter.
a = 72/4
a = 18
Final answer:
The length of the sides is 18.
