Question

Find the area and perimeter. The figure shows a triangle. One side is given by x minus 7 units. The second side is given by 2 x plus 5 units. The third side is equal to 12 units. The height from the third side is given by x plus 6 units. Hint: The height of a non-right triangle is the length of the segment of a line that is perpendicular to the base and that contains the opposite vertex. 12x + 72; 3x + 10 6x + 36; 3x + 10 6x + 36; 10x + 3 12x + 72; 10x + 3

Answer 1

Area of the triangle = 6x + 36

Perimeter of the rectangle = 3x + 10

How to Find the Area and Perimeter of a Triangle?

Given the following parameters of a triangle as shown in the image attached below, its area and perimeter is calculated as shown below?

Area of the triangle = 1/2(base)(height) = 1/2(12)(x + 6)

Area of the triangle = 6(x + 6)

Area of the triangle = 6x + 36

The perimeter of the triangle = sum of all the three sides of the given triangle = (x - 7) + (2x + 5) + (12)

Perimeter= x - 7 + 2x + 5 + 12

Add like terms

Perimeter= x + 2x  - 7 + 5 + 12

Perimeter= 3x + 10

Therefore, we have:

Area of the triangle = 6x + 36

Perimeter of the rectangle = 3x + 10
