Question

In a square, x represents the length of its side. Which value of x illustrates that the area and the

Answer 1

Area of square is given by , $A=x^2$.

Perimeter of square is , P = 4x .

We need to find value of x when area and perimeter are equal :

So ,

$x^2=4x\\\\x(x-4)=0\\\\x=4$

For x = 4 units area is equal to the perimeter of square.

Hence, this is the required solution.
