The perimeter of square is =\(4 * side\)

and the perimeter of rectangle = \(2 *(Length + breadth)\)

Now give,

\(4S = 2* (x + x + 6)\) ( S = side of the square i.e. given)

or \(4S = 4x + 12\)

or \(S = x + 3\)

Hence option C

the perimeter of rectangle = x+x+x+6+x+6 = 4x+12
side of square= 4x+12 /4= x+3

An easier approach to the exercise would be if we would observe x=1.
Following upon this we se that the perimeter of the rectangle is 16, meaning that the square has s=4.
x+3=4
answer c
