Question

A square patio has a perimeter of (32x+8) feet. What is the length of the patio? Thanks!

Answer 1

Answer:

The side length is 8x+2 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a square is found by

P =4s  where s is the side length

32x +8 = 4s

Divide each side by 4

32x/4 +8/4 = 4s/4

8x+2 = s

The side length is 8x+2 ft
