Question

Question 1 A square has a perimeter given by the expression 20x + 24y Write an expression for the length of one side of the square. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \tt{s = 5x + 6y}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \: the \: perimeter \: be \to p \\ let \: the \: side \: be \to s \\ since \to \: p = 4s \\ then \to \: 4s = 20x + 24y \\ hence \to \: 4s = 4(5x + 6y) \\ therefore \to \: s = 5x + 6y$

Answer 2

Answer:

5x+6y

Step-by-step explanation:

to understand this

you need to know about:

• algebra
• PEMDAS

tips and formulas:

• parimeter of a square:4a

let's solve:

1. factor out 4 from the expression:4(5x+6y)

• therefore the length of one side of the square is 5x+6y
