the side of a square is (4x - 2y). What is the perimeter of the square?
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 )
\(=16x-8y\)
