Question

The lengths of the sides of a triangular flowerbed are s feet, s+2 feet, and a+4 feet. What is it’s perimeter?

Answer 1

P=2s+a+6

Explanation:

The perimeter of any polygon is the sum of its sides. The sides in feet are given as

s, s+2 and a+4

Hence perimeter is

P= s + s+2 + a+4

P=2s+a+6
