each figure is a regular polygon. find the value of X (the figure is a square)
one side is:
X^2 + X
the other side is:
X^2 + 4
Please show steps.

With a square, we know that all sides are equal.
X^2 + X = X^2 + 4
Subtract X^2 from both sides
X = 4
So we know that x = 4
X^2 = 4^2 = 16
16 + 4 = 20
All four sides are 20.
The area is 20*20 = 400
The perimeter is 4 * 20 = 80
X^2 + X = X^2 + 4
Subtract X^2 from both sides
X = 4
So we know that x = 4
X^2 = 4^2 = 16
16 + 4 = 20
All four sides are 20.
The area is 20*20 = 400
The perimeter is 4 * 20 = 80
