The perimeter of a square is 80 minus 64 y units. Which expression can be used to show the side length of one side of the square? 16 (5 minus 4 y): Each side measures 5 minus 4 y units. 16 y (5 minus 4): Each side measures 5 minus 4 units. 4 (20 minus 16 y): Each side measures 20 minus 16 y units. 4 y (20 minus 16): Each side measures 20 minus 16 units.

Answer: 4 (20 minus 16 y): Each side measures 20 minus 16 y units.

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to know the formula of the perimeter of a square:

Perimeter = side length x 4

Since:

p = 80-64y = s x 4

Solving for s (side length)

80-64y /4 = s

s = 20- 16 y

So, the correct option is:

4 (20 minus 16 y): Each side measures 20 minus 16 y units.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
