Math Problem Statement

Write an expression to represent the perimeter and area for the rectangle.

Write your answers in simplified standard form.

Solution

To write an expression for the perimeter and area of the given square (assuming the figure is a square due to the equal side notation), let's use the given measurements.

Given:

  • One side of the square is 5.
  • The other side (labeled as xx) is also 5 (since it’s a square).

Expressions:

  1. Perimeter of the Square: The perimeter PP of a square is given by the formula: P=4×side lengthP = 4 \times \text{side length} Here, the side length is 5. Thus, P=4×5=20P = 4 \times 5 = 20

  2. Area of the Square: The area AA of a square is given by the formula: A=side length2A = \text{side length}^2 Here, the side length is 5. Thus, A=52=25A = 5^2 = 25

Final Expressions:

  • Perimeter: P=20P = 20
  • Area: A=25A = 25

Tip: Remember, the key difference between a square and a rectangle is that all sides of a square are equal, whereas a rectangle has opposite sides that are equal.
