Given parallelogram WSTV with sides marked as (x + 5), (x + 9), (2x + 1) and we need to find its perimeter.

Let's find the value of x first, using the property of a parallelogram:

  • Opposite sides are parallel and congruent.

This property gives us the following equation:

  • x + 5 = 2x + 1
  • 2x - x = 5 - 1
  • x = 4

Find the length of two adjacent sides:

  • WS = x + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9 units
  • WV = x + 9 = 4 + 9 = 13 units

Find the perimeter, double the sum of two adjacent sides:

  • P = 2(9 + 13) = 2(22) = 44 units
