Question

The perimeter of square F is 3 meter less than the perimeter of square G. The side lengths of square F are each f meters, and the 2 side lengths of square G are each 4 3 meters. Which expression also represents the side lengths of square G?

Answer 1

Answer: 1/4f - 1/6

Each length side of Perimeter G is given as

$\frac{1}{4}\text{ (f - }\frac{2}{3})$

Open the parenthesis by multiplying through by 1/4

1/4 x f - 1/4 x 2/3

1/4f - 2/12

1/4f - 1/6

The answer is 1/4f - 1/6
