Question

The perimeter of a square is (4x - 44). What is the length of each side?

Answer 1

The perimeter of square is given as,

`(4x-44)`

Let length of side is denoted as S.

The formula for the perimeter of square is,

`P=4* S`

To calculate the side of square , substitute the value of perimeter in the above formula.

`(4x-44)=4* S\text{.}`

Solving the equation we get,

`4(x-11)=4* S\text{.}`
`(x-11)=S.`

The length of the square obtained is ,

`S=(x-11).`
