Answer 1

The expression that represents the difference between the perimeter and the area of a square with sides measuring x inches long is 4x−x2. Therefore correct option is B

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that represents the difference between the perimeter and the area of a square with sides measuring x inches long is 4x−x2.

To calculate the perimeter of a square, we add up the lengths of all four sides, which in this case is 4x.

To find the area of a square, we multiply the length of one side by itself, which is x*x = x^2.

Therefore, the difference between the perimeter and the area is 4x−x2.
