Student: The measure of the side of a square is quadrupled. If x represents the perimeter of the original square, what is the value of the new perimeter?
Options:
(A) 3x
(B) 4x
(C) 9x
(D) 12x
(E) 27x.
Another student: Let's say, hmmm...
Original perimeter = x
Hence original side = x/4
New side = 4x/4
New perimeter = 4*4x/4 = 4x Final answer: (B).
