#P=31.5# #"in."#

Explanation:

The #perimeter# of any polygon is the total length of all the sides added together. Since this is a square, we only have #4# sides to worry about.

In this problem, we are already given the #perimeter#. What we are trying to find is the length of each side.

Knowing that on a square, all sides being equal in length, we need only divide our value of the #perimeter# by #4#.

So we should get:

#126# #"in"##/4#

#=>31.5# #"in."#
