Hi

mr. jiang is building a deck on his house. 

he can calculate the perimeter of the desk using this formula : P=4s 

 P = 4s then s = P/4

is mr. jiangs deck in the shape of a square or rectangle? explain your answer

In general for rectangle P = 2*L + 2*W 

If the length is equal to the width... then P = 4*s

Mr Jiang's deck is a square deck
