Given:

Perimeter of a square =
32x-12.8

To find:

The side length of the square.

Solution:

We know that, the perimeter of the square is 4 times of its side length.


P=4a

Where, a is the side length.

Perimeter of a square =
32x-12.8

Now,


4a=32x-12.8

Divide both sides by 4.


a=(32x-12.8)/(4)


a=(32x)/(4)-(12.8)/(4)


a=8x-3.2

Therefore, the side length of the square is
8x-3.2 units.
