Question

A triangle has side lengths of ( 6x + 10y ) centimeters, (8x - 9z) centimeters, and (4z - 7y ) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter in entimeters of the triangle?

Answer 1

incorrect the answer is 14x + 3y -5z , -5z +3y +14x

Answer 2

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides. An expression representing the perimeter can be found by adding the lengths of the three sides:
Perimeter = ( 6x + 10y ) + (8x - 9z) + (4z - 7y )

To simplify this expression, we can combine like terms. Grouping the like terms, we get:
Perimeter = (6x + 8x) + (10y - 7y) + (-9z + 4z)

Simplifying further, we have:
Perimeter = 14x + 3y - 5z

Therefore, the expression 14x + 3y - 5z represents the perimeter in centimeters of the triangle.

Answer 3

Apologies for the incorrect response. You are correct. The expression representing the perimeter of the triangle is 14x + 3y - 5z or -5z + 3y + 14x. Both expressions are equivalent and valid representations of the perimeter in centimeters. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
