Answer:
The perimeter p of the square is:
[tex]p=4x[/tex]
And in terms of x:
[tex]\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{4}p[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A)
We are given a square with side lengths x.
Recall that all four sides of a square are equivalent. Therefore, our perimeter is:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} p & = x + x + x + x \\ \\ & = 4x\end{aligned}[/tex]
Part B)
To make x the subject of the equation, divide:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} p & = 4x \\ \\ x & = \frac{p}{4} \end{aligned}[/tex]
