Question from Slayde: A rectangular house has one side 4 metres longer than the other. Create two different expressions for its perimeter. The expressions should be given in factorised and expanded form. |
Hi Slayde,
- Suppose that the length of the shorter side is $S$ metres. What is the length of the longer side? What is the perimeter?
- Suppose the length of the longer side is $L$ metres. What is the length of the shorter side? What is the perimeter?
