Question

The expression 4x4x4, x gives the perimeter of a square with a side length of xxx units.What is the perimeter of a square with a side length of \dfrac57 75​ start fraction, 5, divided by, 7, end fraction units?

Answer 1

With the equation 4x, the x represents side length. Since we are given side length of 5/7, then the equation becomes

perimeter = 4 × 5/7

p= 20/7

p= 2 6/7 units

Answer 2

The perimeter of the square is given by:

`P = 4x`

Where,

x: square side.

Substituting values we have:

`P = 4 ((5)/(7) )`

Rewriting the perimeter of the square we have:

`P = (20)/(7)`

Finally, dividing both values:

`P = 2.86`

Answer:

the perimeter of the square is:

`P = 2.86`
