Question

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

Answer 1

Remember that

In a parallelogram, opposite sides are congruent

that means

TU=SR and UR=TS

the perimeter is equal to

P=2(TU+UR)

P=32.2

32.2=2(3x-8+16)

solve for x

32.2=2(3x+8)

32.2=6x+16

6x=32.2-16

6x=16.2

x=2.7

therefore

the answer is

the options N 1 and N 2
