Answer:
(3+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a square = 4L
L is the length of one side of the square
Given the expression 12 + 8 that represents the perimeter of a square, factoring out 4 from both terms;
12 + 8
= (4*3)+(4*2)
= 4(3+2)
Comparing with 4L
4L = 4(3+2)
Divide both sides by 4
4L/4 = 4(3+2)/4
L = (3+2)
Hence the expression that represents one side of the square is (3+2)
