Question

1. find the perimeter of the square:

image of a square with side labeled ( 3x - 1 )

Explanation:

Step1: Recall square perimeter formula

A square has 4 equal sides. Perimeter \( P = 4\times\text{side length} \).

Step2: Substitute side length \( 3x - 1 \)

\( P = 4\times(3x - 1) \)

Step3: Distribute the 4

\( P = 4\times3x - 4\times1 = 12x - 4 \)

Answer:

The perimeter of the square is \( 12x - 4 \)
