Question

The length of the triangle for the pool table is the twice the sum of 5 and a number. If the rack is equilateral, what is the perimeter, in inches, of the triangle?​

Answer 1

30 + 6x inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x

If the length of the triangle for the pool table is twice the sum of 5 and a number

L = 2(5+x)

L = 10+2x

Since the triangle is quadrilateral, this means that all sides are equal

Perimeter = 3L

Perimeter = 3(10+2x)

Perimeter = 30+6x

Hence the perimeter, in inches, of the triangle is 30 + 6x inches
