Question

The perimeter of a square is 80 minus 64 y units. Which expression can be used to show the side length of one side of the square?

Answer 1

Answer:

s = 20-16y

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 80- 64y = 4s

s= (80- 64y)/4

s = 20 - 16y

Answer 2

Answer: 4 (20 minus 16 y): Each side measures 20 minus 16 y units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to know the formula of the perimeter of a square:

Perimeter = side length x 4

Since:

p = 80-64y = s x 4

Solving for s (side length)

80-64y /4 = s

s = 20- 16 y

So, the correct option is:

4 (20 minus 16 y): Each side measures 20 minus 16 y units.
