Question

when each side of a square is increased by 1 metre the perimeter becomes 36 metres. what is the length of a side of the orginal square​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let side of square be 'x' m.

Each side is increased by 1

Therefore, x+1

Given perimeter =36m

Perimeter of square =4x

Therefore, 4(x+1)=36

=x+1=36/4

= x+1=9

=x= 9-1

x= 8m

Hope it helps u...

Answer 2

Given perimeter =36m
Perimeter formula = 4xS
36/4=9
X=9-1=8
=8m
