Answer:

40

Explanation:

Using the triangle perimeter formula [P=2(l) + 2(w) / 2]:

45 = 2 (z + 3) + 2 (3z + 2) / 2

45 = 2z + 6 + 6z + 4 / 2

45 = 8z + 10 / 2

45 = 4z + 5

40 = 4z

z = 10

PR

4z

4 (10)

40

Answer:

PR = 20

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides, thus

4z + z + 3 + 3z + 2 = 45 ← simplify left side

8z + 5 = 45 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

8z = 40 ( divide both sides by 8 )

z = 5

PR = 4z = 4 × 5 = 20
