A triangle has a base of x + 7 a height of x + 3 and a length of 2x - 5 write an expression in simplest form for the perimeter of the triangle

1 answer

To find the perimeter, we need to add up the lengths of all three sides of the triangle.

The base has a length of x + 7.

The height has a length of x + 3.

The length (hypotenuse) has a length of 2x - 5.

Therefore, the perimeter is:

P = (x + 7) + (x + 3) + (2x - 5)

Simplifying and combining like terms, we get:

P = 4x + 5

So the expression in simplest form for the perimeter of the triangle is 4x + 5.
