The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all side lengths of the triangle. The numerical expression for the perimeter of Stephanie's triangle is:
Let the sides of Juan's triangle be x, y and z. So:
The perimeter (J) of Juan's triangle is calculated by adding all sides.
So:
This gives:
From the question, we understand that:
The perimeter (S) of Stephanie's triangle is half that of Juan.
This means that:
Substitute 25 for J
Hence, the numerical expression for the perimeter of Stephanie's triangle is:
