The expression 48y - 16 represents the perimeter, in feet, of a square. Which expression represents the length, in feet, of each side of the square?
The perimeter of a square is given by the formula P = 4s, where s is the length of each side of the square.
In this case, we are given that the perimeter is 48y - 16. So we can set up the equation:
48y - 16 = 4s
To solve for s, we can divide both sides by 4:
12y - 4 = s
So the expression that represents the length, in feet, of each side of the square is 12y - 4.
