Find the perimeter of the rectangle:

P = 2a + 2b, a – length, b – width

P = 2 * 17 + 2 * 15

P = 34 + 30

P = 64 (cm)

Find the side of the square using the formula P = 4a, a is the side of the square

64 = 4 * a

a = 64/4

a = 8 (cm) – the length of the side of the square.

Answer: the length of the side of the square is 8 cm
