Question

idk how to di it i need help

Answer 1

Hello Ling,

 

If you have a square, the formula for the perimeter is what, given the length of one side = s?

 

You may recall the formula for the perimeter P of a square is P_square = 4s.

 

So, given the Perimeter, what is the length of one side?

 

s = P_square/4.

 

Take the perimeter you are given and divide by 4. That is the length of each and every side of the square. Do divide 56x + 64 by 4, divide each term by four. The sum of those terms is your side length.
