40 because of the constant rate
They are equal so...
15x+2 = 9x+20
15x-9x = 20-2
6x =18
x = 18/6 = 3
x = 3
If you sketch the triangle, you need to understand that 12 is the length of opposite side (opposite to theta). Then the longest side is 13 is the hypotenuse. The other side with length 5 is the adjacent side. Thus from the definition of sin(theta)=opposite side/hypotenuse=12/13. A question for you, what is cos(theta)? cos(theta)=5/15 and tan(theta)=12/5
20 units
Perimeter =add up all sides.
Perimeter = 5+1+5+9
=20 units
