Question

A triangle has side lengths of (9x+3) centimeters, (6x−10) centimeters, and (y−2) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?

Answer 1

To find the perimeter of a triangle, we simply need to add up the lengths of all three sides.

The lengths of the sides of our triangle are given as the expressions (9x + 3), (6x - 10), and (y - 2). Therefore, we can calculate the perimeter by adding these three expressions together.

We begin the calculation by writing out the sum:

(9x + 3) + (6x - 10) + (y - 2)

This gives us our final expression for the perimeter of the triangle. So, the perimeter of the triangle is represented by the expression (9x + 3) + (6x - 10) + (y - 2) centimeters.
