Question

the side of a square is (4x - 2y). What is the perimeter of the square?

Answer 1

16x-8y Cause you simply add all of the x's and y's together

Answer 2

Answer:

( 16x - 8y ) unit

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, we know that, the perimeter of a square,

$S=4\times a$

Where,

a = side of the square,

We have,

a = 4x - 2y

Therefore, the perimeter of the given square

$=4\times (4x-2y)$

$=4(4x)-4(2y)$  ( By distributive property )

$=16x-8y$
