Answer:
10m
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Perimeter</u> means adding up all of the sides of a shape.
One property of a square is that <u>all lengths of a square are the same</u>.
We also know squares have <u>4 sides</u>.
<u />
Lets set up an expression to solve the length for each side with variable S representing the length of a side:
4 * S = 40
Divide each side by 4:
S = 10
Therefore, each side of the square has a length 10m
<u />
It is the lateral edge as it is an edge and it is on the lateral area.
