Lets represent the side of the square as s , since we know the area is 36. write s
the square root of 36 is 6. So, we know the side is 6. The formula for perimeter is P= s+s+s+s , but since it is a square and all the sides are equal, for a perimeter of a square you can do p= 4s , now substitute 6 for s to get 4(6)=24 so the perimeter of a square would be 24 inches
ANSWER
The correct answer is option B
EXPLANATION
The equations are
and
When we multiply the second equation by , we obtain;
When we combine this new equation with equation (1).
We can see that has been eliminated from the equation.
We can then, solve for and then substitute the result in to any of the equations to find
.
Hence the correct answer is option B
