2x+(x-17)=-37-x
2x+x-17=-37-x
2x+x+x=-37+17
4x=-20
x=-20/4
x=-5

Given ΔABC, AB = BC = AC . Area of ΔABC = 25 sqrt3 /4 cm. Find the perimeter of ΔABC.

zubka84 [21]

This is an equilateral triangle of height a√3/2 where a is the side length. So the area is ½a.a√3/2=a²√3/4.
So a²=25 and a=5cm. Therefore the perimeter is 3a=15cm.

Determine the perimeter of the figure.

ollegr [7]

Answer: 2x + 6y + 22 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The <u>perimeter</u> of a figure is the total length of all the sides of a figure.

Therefore, the perimeter can be found by adding up all the lengths of the figure.

Suppose that P is the perimeter of this figure, then

$P = x+4+x+4+3y+7+7+3y\\$

Combining like terms, we get

$P = 2x + 6y + 22$

Since we do not have any information on what the variables are, this is the perimeter of the figure.
