Question

A triangle has side lengths of (6.4c-2.5)(6.4c−2.5) centimeters, (8.7c-7.8)(8.7c−7.8) centimeters, and (6.4d-1.2)(6.4d−1.2) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?

Answer 1

Answer:

15.1c + 6.4d - 11.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Lengths of the side of a triangle :

(6.4c-2.5) centimeters

(8.7c-7.8) centimeters

(6.4d-1.2) centimeters

Assume the sides Given are labeled A, B and C respectively,

The perimeter of a triangle is related vyvtge formula :

Perimeter = (A + B + C)

Perimeter = (6.4c - 2.5) + (8.7c - 7.8) + (6.4d - 1.2)

= (6.4c - 2.5) + (8.7c - 7.8) + (6.4d - 1.2)

= 6.4c - 2.5 + 8.7c - 7.8 + 6.4d - 1.2

= 6.4c + 8.7c + 6.4d - 2.5 - 7.8 - 1.2

= 15.1c + 6.4d - 11.5
