Question

Each envelope in the class contains the same number of triangles and quadrilaterals. Write an expression that

represents the total number of sides in the room.

Answer 1

Answer: 3t+4q.

Step-by-step explanation: Triangles have 3 sides, so there will be 3 sides for each triangle in the envelope. This is represented by 3t. Quadrilaterals have 4 sides, so there will be 4 sides for each quadrilateral in the envelope. This is represented by 4q. The total number of sides will be the number of triangle sides and the number of quadrilateral sides together.
