Question

The perimeter of a square is in p inches. Write expressions, in terms of p, for the length of the side of the square and the area of the square.

Answer 1

square has 4 sides of equal length
if the side length is p then the perimiter (distance around) is 4 times the length of the side or 4 times p or 4p

the area is side times side but since all sides are equal length, side^2 is the aera


perimiter=4p
area=p²
