Question

the perimeter of a square with a side length of ( x ) is ( 4x ). what is the perimeter, in inches, of a square when ( x = 16 ) inches? a 32 b 64 c 16 d 40

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the perimeter formula

The perimeter of a square is given by \( P = 4x \), where \( x \) is the side length.

Step2: Substitute \( x = 16 \) into the formula

Substitute \( x = 16 \) inches into \( P = 4x \). So we calculate \( 4\times16 \).
\( 4\times16 = 64 \)

Answer:

B. 64
