Question

The perimeter of a square can be found using P=n+n+n+n, where n is the length of one side of the square.Which equation could also be used to find the perimeter of a square

Answer 1

4n

Explanation:

n+n+n+n=4n

Answer 2

P = 4×n or P = 4n

P is the total length of the square and n is the length of one side

Explanation:

Perimeter means the distance around the square. Since a square has four equal sides, you can figure out the total by multiplying one side by 4.

That could look like P = 4×n or P = 4n

4n means n+n+n+n. It's usually quicker to multiply then to add.
