Its a square pool and its perimeter is 100 yards.

We know that a square has 4 sides with the same length so we can give a square perimeter by the sum of their 4 sides

Lets call the side "l" and since we have 4 of them we need to sum it 4 times

l + l + l + l = perimeter

4l = perimeter

We know the perimeter

4l = 100

Divide both sides by 4

4l/4 = 100/4

l = 25

So the side length is equal to 25 yards
