We can help if you can tell us how many sides to a square and are they all exactly equal.

There are four equal sides to a square right? If the distance around the square is 6.8; You will want to divide 6.8 by 4 in order to know the length of each side.

Is it just me, or are choices B and C exactly the same?

Maybe the asterisk is mean to mean power, instead of 'caret' (^)

Thank you for your help!! I think that's what we picked, I don't even know which one it was. When I put the question on here most of it didn't show up so I know it was confusing to some people anyway. Thanks again!! :D
