Answer:
The side of the square is 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two adjacent sides of a square are represented by 8a + 20 and 42 - 3a.
All sides of a square are equal in length.
Therefore, 8a + 20 = 42 - 3a
=> 8a + 3a = 42 - 20
=> 11a = 22
Therefore, a = 2
Therefore, the side of the square is (8).2 + 20 = 16 + 20 = 36.

Answer:
The side of the square is 36.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two adjacent sides of a square are represented by 8a + 20 and 42 - 3a.
All sides of a square are equal in length.
Therefore, 8a + 20 = 42 - 3a
=> 8a + 3a = 42 - 20
=> 11a = 22
Therefore, a = 2
Therefore, the side of the square is (8).2 + 20 = 16 + 20 = 36.
