Answer: 2x + 0.5 unit

Explanation:

A square has 4 equal sides. Therefore, its perimeter is calculated by adding the four sides.

Since the perimeter of a square is 8x +2 units, to get the length of one side, we divide the perimeter by 4. This will be:

= (8x + 2)/4

= 2x + 0.5

Therefore, the length of one side is 2x + 0.5 unit
