The perimeter is 36 so, (x+3)+(2x-9)+x = 36 solve and you will get x=12, then substitute x into the triangle you will have 9,12 and 15. Find the area by using 1/2 x base x height and the area is 54 inches^2 . The answer is (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

a/q

x + x - 3 + 2x - 9 = 36

4x - 12 = 36

4x = 36 + 12 = 48

x = 48/4 = 12

x = 12

so,

x = 12

x - 3 = 12 - 3 = 9

2x - 9 = 2(12) - 9 = 15

we know,

area = 1/2 × base × height

so,

→ 1/2 × 12 × 9

→ 1 × 6 × 9

→ 54 inches.
