Answer 1

Hello There!!

Given

Perimeter = (32x + 8)

To Find

Length of the Patio

We Know,

`\text{Perimeter of Square = 4 × sides}`

`\text{ 32x + 8} = 4 * \text{sides} \\ \\ \fbox{dividing each side with 4} \\ \\ \implies \text{( 32x} / 4) + (8 / 4) = \frac{4 * \text{sides}} {4} \\ \\ \implies \text{8x + 2} = \frac{ \cancel4 * \text{sides}} { \cancel4} \\ \\ \implies \text{sides} = \text{8x + 2}`

`\therefore \text{ Length of the Patio} = \text \red{ \underline{8x + 2 feet}}`

Hope this helps!!
