Perimeter of a square = 4 × side.
Side = perimeter ÷ 4.

• Side = \( \frac{17}{20} \div 4 \)
• \( \frac{17}{20} \div 4 = \frac{17}{20} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{17}{80} \)
• 17 is prime and does not divide 80, so \( \frac{17}{80} \) is in simplest form.

Final Answer: \( \frac{17}{80} \) m

Note: The computed answer \( \frac{17}{80} \) does not match any of the given options. The options may contain a data-entry error.
