Question 25123:
Solve for x and the dimensions of the polygon.
The shape is a square and the perimeter equals 24 units. The sides equal x-2. I solved for x and got x equals 2 units. I would like to know if i answered this question correctly and fully. Answer by quentin252(19) (Show Source):

4(x-2) = 24
4x-8 = 24
4x = 32
x = 8
