Answer:

Option 4: 45 units is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P_1 be the perimeter of Pentagon and

Let P2 be the perimeter of Triangle

So,

P_1 = 5(\frac{1}{2}x-1)\\P_2 = 3(x-5)

In order to find the perimeter of each figure we have to put both the expressions equal so that the value of x can be found and then perimeter.

So,

P_1 = P_2\\5(\frac{1}{2}x-1) = 3(x-5)\\\frac{5}{2}x-5 = 3x-15\\\frac{5}{2}x-3x = -15+5\\\frac{5x-6x}{2} = -10\\-\frac{x}{2} = -10\\-x = -10 * 2\\-x = -20\\x = 20

Putting x = 20 in 2nd perimeter

P_2 = 3(x-5) \\= 3(20-5)\\= 3(15)\\=45

As both the perimeters are same, the perimeter of pentagon will also be 45 units.

Hence,

Option 4: 45 units is the correct answer

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

C. 336 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area formulas:

Area of a right triangle: a × b ÷ 2

Area of rectangle: length × width

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In this figure, there is a rectangle with a width of 12 and a height of 6.

; the area of the rectangle is 72 cm².

There are two right triangles with legs of 6 and 8.

There are two right triangles so..

The area of a single triangle is 24 cm²; the area of the triangles combined is 48 cm.

There is a rectangle in the middle with a width of 8 and a height of 12.

The area of the rectangle is 96 cm².

Lastly, there is a rectangle with a width of 10 and a height of 12.

The area of the rectangle is 120 cm².

Now, add the areas of every shape to find your answer.
