Question

If the perimeter of a square is 120f+80 inches, what is the length, in inches, of each side of the square?

Answer 1

30f + 20

Explanation:

A square has four sides, all of equal length. If we call that side length x, then the perimeter - the total length around the square - is 4x. To find the side length given the perimeter then, we can simply divide the perimeter by 4.

Our perimeter here is 120f + 80, and dividing each term by 4 gives us a side length of 30f + 20.
