Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
In a square ABCD, if AB = (3x-8) and BC = (x+12), find the value of x. Also, find the length of each side of the square.
Note that all sides of a square are equal. Hence AB = BC for the square ABCD.
Given AB = (3x-8) and BC = (x+12), then AB = BC
3x-8 = x+12
collect like terms;
3x-x = 12+8
2x = 20
x = 20/2
x = 10
Substitute x = 10 into any of the side. Using side AB
AB = 3x-8
AB = 3(10)-8
AB = 30-8
AB = 22
BC = x+12
BC = 10+12
BC = 22
Hence x = 10 and the length of each side is 22
