Question

The perimeter of a square is represented by P=4s, where s represents the side length. Which equation below correctly solves for the side length of the square?

A
� = 4s\ =\ 4s = 4

B
�=P=P= �4\frac{s}{4}
4
s
​


C
�=�4s=\frac{P}{4}s=
4
P
​


D
4� = �4P\ =\ s4P = s

show how you got the answer

Answer 1

The correct equation that solves for the side length of the square is option D:

4s = P

To get this equation, we need to rearrange the perimeter formula: P = 4s
We can divide both sides of the equation by 4 to isolate s:
P/4 = s

So, option D: 4s = P is the correct equation that solves for the side length of the square.
