Given, the plot is in the shape of triangle.

First side = x meter

Second side = ( 5x-3 )meters

Third side = ( 7x-6 ) meters

Perimeter of triangle is equal to the sum of all the three sides.

Perimeter = $x + (5x-3) + (7x-6)$

Combine like terms by adding all the x terms together and all the constant terms together.

Perimeter = $(x+5x+7x) + ( -3 -6 )$

Perimeter = $13x - 9$ feet ... Answer
