width = 8x

Question

Find the perimeter of the square.

length = 15x - 42
width = 8x

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

Since length=15x-42
          width=8x

Perimeter=2(L+B)
                 =2((15x-42)-(8x))

P = 2(l) * 2 (w)

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

& ur question is wrong if u have an square than why u have diffrent length & width ???

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

a square *

anonymous · Answer

me soo stupid. sory. plz continue.

@rmaker408 :)

anonymous · Answer

i got this:
46x - 84

anonymous · Answer

IF ITS SQUARE , THEN LENGTH =WIDTH
SO 15x-42 = 8x
find x from here.
then side = 8x and perimeter = 4*(8x)

anonymous · Answer

@jiteshmeghwal9 i don't understand how to solve this. can you help me plz??

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer

2(15x-42+8x)
2(23x-42)
2(23x)-2(42)

anonymous · Answer

which is 46x + 84. is that the answer?

anonymous · Answer

the question isn't wrong, you'll get a numerical answer, see my comment, jitesh.

jiteshmeghwal9 · Answer
