Question

I will brainiest! Write two different expressions to represent the perimeter of this square. What can you conclude from the two expressions? Express your answer in two or more complete sentences. (it is a square with 4 S on each side and top and bottom.

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 2a + 2a or P = 4a

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the length of each side of the square is a.

Therefore, the perimeter of the square can be written as  

P = 2a + 2a ...... (1), or P = 4a ....... (2)

As the opposite sides of the square are equal, so the perimeter will be given by P = 2a + 2a

Again the square has four sides equal, so the perimeter will be given by P = 4a. (Answer)
