Answer:
60 ft, 120 ft, 182 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there,
To find the perimiter of a polygon, you need to add of all of the sides.
So, let's do that:
x + 2x + 3x+2
Since we are given the perimeter, we make what we just did above, equal to the perimeter
x + 2x + 3x +2 = 362
Combine lke terms...
6x + 2 = 362
Subtract 2 from both sides to start to isolate the variable...
6x = 360
Divide both sides by 6 to isolate x...
x = 60
But we're not done yet...
The length of the first side is 60 ft, the length of the second side is 2*60 which is 120 ft, and the length of the third side is 3*60 + 2 which is 182 ft.
Let's check...
Does 60 + 120 + 182 = 362?
362 = 362
Our answers are right
Hope this helps! Stay safe!
