Question

The perimeter of the parallelogram below is 32.2. What equation would you set up to solve for ? What is the value of x? Select two answer and round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

• B and F

Explanation:

Perimeter formula

• P = 2(a + b)

Option B is correct for the equation

• 3x - 8 + 16 + 3x - 8 + 16 = 32.2
• 6x + 16 = 32.2
• 6x = 16.2
• x = 16.2/6
• x = 2.7

Option F is correct for the value of x
