Complete Question
Consider the isosceles triangle. left side (2z+8)units, bottom of triangle (4z-10)units, right side of triangle (2z+8) units Part A Which expression represents the perimeter of the triangle? a.(4z+16) units b.(6z−2)units c.(8z−16) units d.(8z+6) units
Answer:
d. (8z + 6) units
Explanation:
The formula for the Perimeter of a Triangle is :Side A + Side B + Side C
Hence,
(2z + 8)units + (4z - 10) units + (2z + 8)units
= (2z + 8 + 4z - 10 + 2z + 8)units
Collect like terms
= 2z + 4z + 2z + 8 - 10 + 8
= 8z + 6 units
The expression that represents the perimeter of the triangle is (8z +6) units
