Question

2 The triangle and the rectangle shown below have equal perimeters. Find the measures of the side lengths of the triangle. (Figures not drawn to scale) 4(x-1) *+8 3x-1 5x +​

Answer 1

180

Explanation:

Subtract the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. The sum of all the angles of a triangle always equals 180 degrees. Write down the difference you found when subtracting the sum of the two angles from 180 degrees. This is the value of X.When side lengths are given, add them together.

Solve for a missing side using the Pythagorean theorem.

If we know side-angle-side information, solve for the missing side using the Law of Cosines.
