2. For a class project, Zachary made a square-shaped model of the park near his house. Each side of his model is x inches long.

Pick the expression that represents the perimeter of Zachary's model.
*
3 points
4 + x
4x
x - 4
4x + 4x

1 answer

The perimeter \( P \) of a square is calculated using the formula:

\[ P = 4 \times \text{side length} \]

Since each side of Zachary's model is \( x \) inches long, the expression for the perimeter would be:

\[ P = 4x \]

So the correct answer is:

4x
