A rectangle was folded from 4 equal squares, the perimeter of which is 60 cm. What is the perimeter of each square?

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of all sides or the sum of the length and width times two. The perimeter of a square is equal to the sum of all sides, or the perimeter of a square is four times the length of one of its sides.
1. The side of the square, as well as one side of the rectangle, is x cm.
2. Find out what the other side of the square is equal to.
x * 4 = 4x cm.
3. Let’s compose and solve the equation.
(x + 4x) * 2 = 60;
5x * 2 = 60;
10x = 60;
x = 60/10 = 6;
4. The side of the square is x = 6 cm.
5. Find the perimeter of the square.
6 * 4 = 24 cm.
Answer: The perimeter of the square is 24 cm.
