Question

The perimeter of a square is four more than twice the length of its side. What is the area of the square?

8 units²
16 units²
4 units²
2 units²

Answer 1

The area of the square is 2 units square.

Explanation:

Let the side of the square be 'S'.

Perimeter of the square = 4 * Side

(the question says the perimeter is 4 more than i.e. 4+ and twice i.e 2 * times the side of the square which is 'S'.)

written as: Perimeter of square = 4*side

4 + 2S = 4*side

4= 4S - 2S

4=2S

4/2= S

2=S

Above we, arranged variables (like s, x, y)on the right of equals to while numbers on the left of equal to.
