Question

The three sides of a triangle are represented by 6x – 1, 5x + 16, and 3x + 40. Express the perimeter, in terms of x.

Answer 1

Step by step Step-by-step explanation:

We know that perimeter of a triangle is equal to sum of the sides of a triangle.

So, we need to add the sides,

(6x - 1) + (5x + 16) + (3x + 40) = Perimeter of triangle

6x - 1 + 5x + 16 + 3x + 40

14x + 55

Hence, 14x + 55 is the perimeter of triangle.
