the perimeter P of a square is four times the length of ones side s, or P=4s. Is (1455) a solution of this equation? If not, find a solution that uses one of the given values
Sure.
P=4(1455) = 5820
or, did you mean
1455 = 4s?
s = 363.75
Now, do you want to provide some more information?
To determine if (1455) is a solution to the equation P = 4s, we need to substitute the value of s into the equation and check if it satisfies the equation.
Given that P = 1455 and the equation P = 4s, we substitute the value of P into the equation:
1455 = 4s
To find the value of s, we need to rearrange the equation to solve for s:
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
1455/4 = s
Calculating this, we get:
364.75 = s
Since s is the length of one side of a square, it must be a whole number. However, 364.75 is not a whole number, so (1455) is not a solution to the equation P = 4s.
To find a solution that uses one of the given values, we can choose a value for s from the options provided and then calculate the corresponding perimeter.
Let's say we choose s = 3. Substitute this value into the equation:
P = 4s
P = 4(3)
P = 12
Therefore, when s = 3, the perimeter of the square is P = 12.
