Answer:
x = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
The big triangle is similar to smaller one so we can use the side lengths' proportion to find x:
7/4 = (x-3)+8/8
7/4 = (x+5)/8 cross multiply expressions
56 = 4x + 20 subtract 20 from both sides
36 = 4x divide both sides by 4
9 = x
Answer:35in.
Step-by-step explanation:
I reccomend splitting it into sections when given problems like this.
The smaller two rectangles would be 5in * 2in which is 10in then just add them together.
For the bigger one, you'd do 5-2 in order to get the missing inches which will be 3+2 once added 5in*3in is 15in.
Finally, add 15+10+10 (15=The middle rectangle and 10=the sides)
