Answer:

Perimeter = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

because l bisects AB:

3y+1 = 5y-5

reduce:

2y = 6

y = 3

and:

2x+4 = 4x-12

reduce:

2x = 16

x = 8

AB = (3y+1) + (5y-5)

AB = 8y-4

substitute for y

AB = 8(3)-4

AB = 20

Perimeter = (2x+4) + (4x-12) + 20

reduce:

perimeter = 6x+12

substitute for x:

Perimeter =6(8)+12

reduce:

Perimeter = 60

Remember :

1 minute = 60 seconds
1 week = 7 days
1 hour = 60 minutes

12

3 minutes : 25 seconds

3 × 60 : 25 (Divide by 5 on both sides)

3 × 12 : 5

36 : 5

13

2 weeks : 6 days

2 × 7 : 6 (Divide by 2 on both sides)

7 : 3

14

5 hours : 20 minutes

5 × 60 : 20 (Divide by 20 on both sides)

5 × 3 : 1

15 : 1
