Question

Amaia walks from her home to the bank, then to the park, and then to get groceries before heading home. The path she travels is in the shape of a parallelogram and is shown in the diagram below. How many total meters did Amaia walk?

Answer 1

Amaia walked 28 meters

Explanation:

So first we know that the side x+3 is equal to the side 3x+1

subtract 1 and x from both sides to get x=1

then we plug in the 1 to the equation x+9 and we know that side equals 10, meaning the parallel side is also 10.

plug in 1 to one of the original equations to get 4

4+4+10+10=28
