A/B : 4/9 = 12/B
cross multiply
(4)(B) = (9)(12)
4B = 108
B = 108/4
B = 27
P = 4a...where a is the length of one side
P = 4(27)
P = 108 yds <=== perimeter of square B

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: 8a
Discussion
:
Let's study the expression:
2(5a - 4a) + 6a
The boldfaced term simplifies to "a" as 5 = 4 = 1. So the expression becomes
2a + 6a
As 2 + 6 = 8, 2a + 6a = 8a.
