A QUADRITATERAL IS ANY FIGURE WITH 4 SIDES OF ANY LENGTH.
IF THESE 4 TERMS ARE THE 4 SIDES THEN THE SUM OF THEM EQUALS 130 INCHES.
THUS:
X+2+X-5+X^3-3X+2X+1=130
X^3+X-2=130
X^3+X=132
X=APPROXIMATELY 5.02618
PROOF
5.02618^3+5.02618-2=130
126.97379+5.02618-2=130
129.999997=130
THUS THE SIDES ARE:
X+2=5.02618+2=7.02618
X-5=5.02618-5=.02618
X^3-3X=126.97379-15.07854=111.89523
2X+1=11.05236
7.02618+.02618+111.89523+11.05236=130
129.999997=130

the perimeter is the sides added together
(x+2)+(x-5)+(x^3-3x)+(2x+1)=130 ___ x^3+x-132=0
this does not factor
