Question

A square has a perimeter of 8y. What is the length of each side?

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

Answer 2

• Each side is 2y

------------------------

Perimeter of a square is four times its side:

• P = 4a

Since the perimeter is 8y, divide it by 4 to get each side length:

• a = P/4
• a = 8y/4
• a = 2y
