Question

A garden has four sides that are all the same length. Each side measures x+4 units. The garden's perimeter is 112 units.

What is the value of x?

Enter your answer in the box.

x =

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 112

each side = x+4

x = ?

perimeter = 4( x+4)

112 = 4x +16

4x = 96

x= 96÷4

x= 14

x+4 = 14 +4=18

Answer 2

Answer:

If the sides are equal, it means, it is a square. Perimeter of a square is 4 * side

Side = x + 4

4(x+4) = 112

x+4 = 112/4 = 28

x = 28 - 4 = 24

Therefore x = 24
