I think you could try adding up all the x and then divided
Answer:
23.1111
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=kx
k=constant of variation
given
k=12
y=36
36=12*x
divide both sides by 12
3=x
x=3
Average rate of change implies the quotient f(4)-f(a)/4-a which equals (1/2-a/2)/4-a=(1-a)/(8-2a) on (4,a)
we have to firstly apply the distance formula to find the length of sides of the triangle
distance formula = 
So length AB = 
BC= 
AC = 
Now perimeter = AB+BC+AC = 
Plug in calculator
perimeter= 11.4 units
