Answer:

The polynomial that represents the perimeter of the triangle is 5x^2-5x +22.

Explanation:

Perimeter of the triangle= a+b+c where a,b,c are the length of the sides of the triangle.

Given

a= x+3, b= x^2+3x+7, c= 4x^2-9x+12

Perimeter of the triangle = x+3 + x^2+3x+7+ 4x^2-9x+12

= 5x^2-5x +22

The polynomial that represents the perimeter of the triangle is 5x^2-5x +22.

A polynomial is an expression which has variables , constants and terms and exponents combined with addition subtraction etc.

Example 5x^2-5x +22 is a polynomial.

It has exponent, variables and constant .
