Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
KL = 12 because the triangle is isosceles ( base angles are congruent)
KJ = JM = 12 because the triangle is equilateral ( all angles are equal 60°)
the perimeter is
P = 9 + 12 + 12 +12 = 9 +36 = 45
L being the length, W being the width.
So:
if the Length is 8cm more than twice the width, we have:
2W+8
so it's:
perimeter of a rectange = 2(2W+8)+2W
You asked me not to simplify it, so that should be your answer.
I think it’s 3
i multiplied .2222 times 18
5x+40 factors to 5(x+8). Notice how distributing the 5 back through to each term in the parenthesis gives
5 times x = 5x
5 times 8 = 40
So 5*(x+8) = 5*x+5*8 = 5x+40
Therefore, the factors are 5 and (x+8).
The dimensions of the sandbox are 5 feet by (x+8) feet.
We don't know the numeric value of (x+8) since we don't know the value of x, so we leave it as is.
