The <em>perimeter</em> of any shape is given by the sum of it's <em>all sides</em> and as <em>here the shape</em> is <em>square</em> so it's all <em>sides</em> must be <em>equal</em> and it <em>have 4 sides</em>. So if we assume it's one side to be <em><u>s</u></em> , then perimeter = (s+s+s+s) = <em><u>4s</u></em> , so in our question :

{:\implies \quad \sf 4s=28}

{:\implies \quad \sf s=\dfrac{28}{4}=7}

{:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \quad \underline{\underline{s=7\:\: inches}}}

<em>Hence , the length of each side of the square is 7 inches </em>
