Perimeter is
2 • width+ 2•length=
2• (4x-4)+2•(2x+5)=
Distribute multiplication in parentheses
8x-8+4x+10=
Combine like terms
12x+2
Step-by-step explanation:
can't really use the Pythagorean because you don't know this is a right triangle.
use the fact that they are similar
so
3/6 = x/12 where x is FE
cross multiply
6x = 36 therefore FE = 6
then 6/12 = y/9 where y is FD
cross multiply
12y = 54 = 54/12 therefore FD = 4.5
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 5 = 10
you minus the 5
2x = 5
you divide both sides by 2
x = 5
