A square cage is built with 20 ft of wire fencing. How long is each side?
4 sides
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 20
so
5 feet
It's a cage. A cage could be a cube. So would the logic of 5 ft each apply?
To find the length of each side of the square cage, we need to divide the total length of the wire fencing by the total number of sides of a square (which is 4 since all sides are equal in length).
Given that the cage is built with 20 ft of wire fencing, we can divide this by 4 to find the length of each side:
20 ft / 4 = 5 ft
Therefore, each side of the square cage is 5 feet long.
