The figure shown is a square with all sides equal. Write an equation that can be used to find the value of x.

After you have written your equation, solve for the value of x. When you are ready to submit your answer, click the RIGHT ARROW to go to the next slide.

Now that you know the value of x is equal to 4, use this value of x to find the length of each side.

You can use either side length's expression to do so. In this case, we know that x = 4 is the solution, but when working on your own, it is best to check BOTH expressions as a CHECK.

When you have found your answer, click the RIGHT arrow to submit your answer.
