Question

Answer 1

Solution

- The perimeter of a figure is gotten by simply adding up all the sides of the figure.

- Let the unknown side be x.

- Thus, we can say that the Perimeter, 71 is equal to the addtion of all the given sides including the unknown side x.

- Thus, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 71=14+16+24+x \\ 71=54+x \\ \text{ Subtract 54 from both sides} \\ x=71-54 \\ \\ \therefore x=17 \end{gathered}$

Final Answer

The answer is 17 inches
