Question

One side of a square has a value of 3x+2, find the perimeter of the square

Answer 1

`12x+8`

Explanation:

`3x+2` for one side of a square, for a perimeter for the square we need 4 times the side length, so we need:

`4(3x+2)=12x+8`

Answer 2

P = 12x +8

Explanation:

The perimeter of a square is given by

P = 4s where s is the side length

P = 4(3x+2)

Distribute

P = 12x +8
