Question

A square patio has a perimeter of (8x + 48) feet. What is the length of the patio?

Answer 1

Answer:

2x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a square patio, then each side of the patio has the same lengt. As we know the perimeter of a square is the sum of all sides. Then to know the length of the patio we just need to divide by 4 the perimeter.

$\dfrac{(8x+48)}{4}=\dfrac{8x}{4}+\dfrac{48}{4}=2x+12$

Then each side of the square patio has a length of  2x+12

Answer 2

Answer:

Length of Patio = 2x+12

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of square = 4L

4L = 8x+48

L = 8x+48

        4

L = 4(2x+12)

       4

L = 2x+ 12

Length of Patio = 2x=12
