The perimeter of a square is equal to four times the length of a side. write the direct v variation equation that represents the situation. y be the dependent variable and let x the independent variable

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation equation has the form:

Where k is a constant.

By definition, we know that the perimeter of the square is the sum of the lengths of its sides or, as all the sides are equal, you can multiply the lenght of any side by 4.

 Then, knowing that y is the dependent value and x the independent value and the constant k=4, you can write the following direct variation equation that represents the situation.

answer: bearing in mind that a rectangle has a perimeter of length + length + width + width.

step-by-step explanation:

p = perimeter

l = length

x=width

p = 2l + 2x

p = 2(l+x)     < ==== perimeter of the base of the box.
