Given that the perimeter of the square is 48 cm.

We need to determine the length of one side of the square.

Length of the square:

The length of one side of the square can be determined using the perimeter formula.

The formula is given by,

[tex]P=4a[/tex]

Substituting [tex]P=48[/tex] in the above formula, we get;

[tex]48=4a[/tex]

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we have;

[tex]12=a[/tex]

Thus, the value of a is 12 cm.

Hence, the length of the one side of the square is 12 cm.
