Answer:

Explanation:

SHORT ANSWER: perimeter = 4 * (6x+8) = 24x + 32

So, depending on which expression represents the length of the side of the square, the perimeter would be either 40x or 24x + 32.

LONG ANSWER WITH STEP-BY STEP:

If one side of the square has a length of 10x, then all sides have a length of 10x. Alternatively, if one side has a length of 6x+8, then all sides have a length of 6x+8. Therefore, we can write:

perimeter = 4 * side length

Substituting in the given expressions for the side length, we get:

perimeter = 4 * (10x) = 40x

or

perimeter = 4 * (6x+8) = 24x + 32

So, depending on which expression represents the length of the side of the square, the perimeter would be either 40x or 24x + 32.
