Question

A square patio has a perimeter of (8x + 48) feet. What is the length of the patio?

Answer 1

Length of Patio = 2x+12

Explanation:

Perimeter of square = 4L

4L = 8x+48

L = 8x+48

4

L = 4(2x+12)

4

L = 2x+ 12

Length of Patio = 2x=12

Answer 2

2x+12

Explanation:

We have a square patio, then each side of the patio has the same lengt. As we know the perimeter of a square is the sum of all sides. Then to know the length of the patio we just need to divide by 4 the perimeter.

`((8x+48))/(4)=(8x)/(4)+(48)/(4)=2x+12`

Then each side of the square patio has a length of 2x+12
