Answer:
Perimeter = 6x² + 8x
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2(length + width)
perimeter = 2((x²+x)+(2x²+3x))
perimeter = 2(x²+2x² + x+3x)
perimeter = 2(3x² + 4x)
perimeter = 2*3x² + 2*4x
perimeter = 6x² + 8x
Assuming that both triangles are an exact copy of one another, it is safe to assume that 3y-7 is equal to 41. Set up an equation
3y-7=41
Add 7 to both sides
3y=48
Divide both sides by 3
y=16
Now to find PN.
Based on what we know, we can assume that MP = PN. Let's make some equations!
MP = 17x-8 PN = 11x+4
17x-8 = 11x+4
Subtract 11x from both sides
6x-8 = 4
Add 8 to both sides
6x = 12
Divide by 2
x=2
Substitute 2 in for x in the equation for PN
11(2)+4
Multiply 11 by 2
22+4 = 26
PN = 26
