Step-by-step explanation:
The hypotenuse is the longest side thus is (4x + 1)
The legs are 2x and (4x - 1)
Using Pythagoras' theorem, then
(4x + 1)² = (2x)² + (4x - 1)² ← expanding factors
16x² + 8x + 1 = 4x² + 16x² - 8x + 1 , that is
16x² + 8x + 1 = 20x² - 8x + 1 ( subtract 20x² - 8x + 1 from both sides )
- 4x² + 16x = 0 ( multiply through by - 1 )
4x² - 16x = 0 ← factor out 4x from each term
4x(x - 4) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for x
4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0
x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
Now x > 0, thus x = 4
2x = 2(4) = 8
4x - 1 = 4(4) - 1 = 16 - 1 = 15
4x + 1 = 4(4) + 1 = 16 + 1 = 17
Thus
perimeter = 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 cm
