The area of a square garden is Q square feet and the perimeter is P feet. If Q=P+32, what is the perimeter of the garden in feet?  Choose the correct choice from the following answers:
A) 32 B) 36 C) 40 D) 44 E) 48
Let x be the length of one side of the square garden.   x^2 = 4x + 32   x^2 - 4x - 32 = 0   (x-8)(x+4) = 0   x = 8, -4   P = 4(8) = 32   The answer is 32.
