Question

A square has a perimeter of 8g + 16. Which expression also represents the perimeter given the side length of the square?

Answer 1

4(2g+4) :):):):):):):):):):):):)

Answer 2

4(2g+4)

Explanation:

8g+16

Since this expression represents the total perimeter, we need one side length. So we divide this by 4, because it's a square and all sides are of equal length.

8/4=2

16/4=4

One side is 2g+4. So multiply that equation by 4.

4(2g+4)

DOUBLE CHECK

4(2g+4)

8g+16
