If a shape is a square, this mean that each side has the same length. This means that each side of the square has a length of 17cm. Perimeter is the length of the outer boundary of a shape or the summation (addition) of all the sides. This means that the perimeter of this square is 17+17+17+17 or 17×4 which is equal to 68cm.
I hope this helps!
Lets compare both equations so we can explain the reason for it, and see it clearly:
<span>y1 = 5x + 1
</span><span>y2 = 4x + 2
y1 > y2
</span>5x + 1 > 4x + <span>2
</span>To see why that happens we need to solve for x:
5x - 4x > 2 - 1
x > 1
Therefore, the first equation is greater than the second for values of x > 1
