Question

5.) Consider a square with side lengths x.

Answer 1

As x is the side length
The perimeter will be x + x + x + x = 4x

Answer 2

Answer:

1) $p=4x$

2) $x=\frac{p}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1)

The square has side lengths of x.

Remember that all four sides of a square are equivalent. Therefore, our perimeter will be:

$p=x+x+x+x$

Combine like terms. So, our perimeter is:

$p=4x$

Part 2)

To make x the subject, we can divide both sides by 4. This yields:

$\frac{p}{4}=\frac{4x}{4}$

The right side will cancel. So:

$x=\frac{p}{4}$
