The perimeter of a square is represented by 4x − 16. What is the length of a side of this square?

Answer :

Percivle

Answer:

(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a square has 4 equal sides, the perimeter of a square is 4 times one of the sides (which is equal to adding all the sides together). So:

Perimeter = 4(a side) = 4x-16

a side = (4x-16)/4 = (x-4)

The length of a side of a square with perimeter 4x - 16 is x - 4.  

perimeter of a square is represented as follows:

  • perimeter = 4l

where

l = length

Therefore,

4l = 4x - 16

divide both sides by 4

l = x - 4

The length = x - 4

Note a square have all its side equal to each other.
