Question

What is the perimeter of an isosceles triangle with each leg measuring 2x+3 and the base measuring 6x-2?

Answer 1

10x + 4

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two sides equal

Perimeter is the sum of all sides

2(2x + 3) + 6x - 2

4x + 6 + 6x - 2

10x + 4

Answer 2

10x + 4

Explanation:

The Total perimeter is 2 * leg measurement + base

P = 2(2x + 3) + 6x - 2 Remove the brackets.

P = 4x + 6 + 6x - 2 Add like terms

P = 10x + 4 Answer
