Question

Write an equation that you can use to solve for the height of the triangle (x). Notice that the perimeter is 48 feet.

A. 48 = 12 + 20 + x
B. 48 = 12(x)/2
C. 48 = 12(x) (20)
D. 48 = 12 + 20 - x

Answer 1

A. 48 = 12 + 20 + x

If you use this equation then you can do 12 + 20 = 32 and then you can do 48 - 32 = 16 so x = 16
