The length of a side of a square is 10x+4 units. if the perimeter is 96 units. what is the area of the square?

576 Units

Step-by-step explanation:

The way your teacher wants you to do it:

1. We know that multiplying a length by four gives us the perimeter of a square.

1a. Thus, we multiply the given length by four. 4(10x+4)=40x+16

1b. We know the perimeter is 96. So: 40x+16=96

2. Solving for x, we get x=2

3. Plugging our solved x into the given length  (10x+4), we see that the length of a side of the square is 10*2+4=24.

4. We know that the area of a square can be found by squaring the side of a square.

4a. 24*24=576.

5. The area is 576 units.

Easier Solution:

1. We know that the perimeter is length*4.

2. We set L to length.

2a. 4L=96

2b. L=24

3. We know that the length square is area.

4. 24*24=576.
