Hello from MrBillDoesMath!


Answer: 3


Discussion:

The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the side lengths.

Perimeter of top polygon is (x+2) + 2x + (x + 2) + (4x + 1) = 8x + 5

Perimeter of bottom triangle is 4x + 2x + (3x+2 ) = 9x + 2


The perimeters are the same when

8x + 5 = 9x + 2

Subtract 8x from both sides:

5 = (9x - 8x) + 2 or

5 = x + 2

Subtract 2 from each side to get x = 3:

5 -2 = 3 = x


The perimeter of either figure is 29
