Question

What is the perimeter of the triangle expressed as a polynomial?

Answer 1

Sorry I couldn't find this sooner!

The perimeter of any polygon means the sum of all the lengths of its sides. In this case the sides are (5x - 2), (2x - 3), and (4x + 3). We can find the perimeter by adding all of these lengths up:

(5x - 2) + (2x - 3) + (4x + 3) 
= 5x - 2 + 2x - 3 + 4x + 3
=11x -2

Final Answer: B. 11x - 2
