Answer:

9x - 1

Explanation:

A triangle is a three-sided polygon with three edges and three vertices. the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

the perimeter of a triangle = sum of the side lengths

missing length = perimeter - sum of the two sides

sum of the two sides = (5x -1) + (2x + 5) = 7x + 4

missing length = 16x + 3 - (7x + 4) = 9x-1
