Answer:

4m +3

Explanation:

The perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides.

Application

For a triangle with sides of length a, b, and c, the perimeter is ...

P = a +b +c

P = (3m) +(4 -m) +(2m -1) = (3-1+2)m +(4-1)

P = 4m +3

The perimeter of the triangle is 4m+3.

__

Additional comment

In order for this to be a legitimate triangle, the value of m must satisfy ...

5/6 < m < 3/2
