Find the perimeter of the triangle whose sides are x + 8, 3x + 4, and 2x + 8. Formula P = a + b + c

Sagot :

Answer:

the perimeter is 40

first add the sides

[tex]x + 8 \\ 3x + 4 \\ 2x + 8 \\ - - - - - - - \\ 6x + 20[/tex]

then equate 6x+20 to 0

and find x

[tex]6x + 20 = 0 \\ x = \frac{10}{3} [/tex]

then substitute 10/3 to all x

[tex]x + 8 \\ = \frac{10}{3}+ 8 \\ = \frac{34}{3} [/tex]

[tex]3x + 4 \\ = 3( \frac{10}{3} ) + 4 \\ = 14 \\ or \: \frac{42}{3} [/tex]

[tex]2x + 8 \\ = 2( \frac{10}{3} ) + 8 \\ = \frac{44}{3} [/tex]

then add

[tex] \frac{34}{3} + \frac{42}{3} + \frac{44}{3} \\ = \frac{120}{3} \\ = 40[/tex]
