Will give brainliest. A square and a rectangle have the same perimeter. The square has a side length of 8x units. The rectangle has a length of (4x + 8) units and a width of 10 units. What will be the perimeter of both the rectangle and the square?
To get the perimeter of a square you take it’s side length times 4. To get the perimeter of a rectangle you take 2 times it’s length and 2 times it’s width and add the product together. So the formula is for square is 4L = P The formula for rectangle is 2L + 2W = P If you know the perimeter of a square and rectangle are the same you can set the equations equal to each other. So 2L + 2W = 4L and since you know the side measurements. You sub them in. 2(4x + 8) + 2(10) = 4(8x) and then solve for x
