Question

Dwayne's garden is triangle-shaped with two equal sides and a third side that is 4 ft more than the length of an equal side. If the perimeter is 49 ft, how long is each side? Which equation represents this? 2x = 49 2x + 4 = 49 3x = 49 3x + 4 = 49

Answer 1

Answer: D. 3x+4=49

Explanation:

A triangle has 3 sides

2 equal sides and a third side

2+1=3

3x+4=49

Answer 2

B. 2x + 4 = 49

It is because a triangle has 2 sides and the question shows that 2 triangles equal the same so that becomes 2x. The third side is 4 so u add that to 2x which becomes 2x+4 and the perimeter equals 49 so basically the equation should be 2x + 4 = 49.

ANOTHER EXPLANATION:
The equation for perimeter is P=L+W
SO SUBSTITUTE ALL THE NUMBERS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE QUESTION AND THEN U CAN GET UR ANSWER.
