Question

The side of a square is (4x - 2y). What is the perimeter of the square?

Answer 1

16x-8y Cause you simply add all of the x's and y's together

Answer 2

( 16x - 8y ) unit

Explanation:

Since, we know that, the perimeter of a square,

`S=4* a`

Where,

a = side of the square,

We have,

a = 4x - 2y

Therefore, the perimeter of the given square

`=4* (4x-2y)`

`=4(4x)-4(2y)` ( By distributive property )

`=16x-8y`
