The side length of a square is equal to any one of the four equal-length sides that make up the square's perimeter. All four sides of a square are identical in length; they’re congruent. If you know the length of one side, you, therefore, know the length of all four sides. Additionally, if you have other measurements such as the square's perimeter or area, you can calculate the side length. For example:
1. Given the perimeter (P) of the square, the side length (s) can be calculated by dividing the perimeter by 4, since a square has 4 sides of equal length: s = P / 4
2. Given the area (A) of the square, the side length can be calculated by taking the square root of the area, because the area of a square is the side length squared: s = √A
