Hi,



Perimeters of Square and Rectangle Equal

P = 2L + 2w

   2(2s-4) + 2(s-6) = 4s

   4s - 8 + 2s - 12 = 4s

       2s = 20

        s = 10

P(square) = 4*10cm = 40cm  (also the Perimeter of the Square)

CHECKING our answer***

2%2A16+%2B+2%2A6+=+32+%2B+8+ = 40cm

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
