find the perimeter of the triangle
4 , /5 - /3, /5 + /3 radical equations
:
Assume you mean the 3 sides are:
1: 4
2: sqrt%285%29+-+sqrt%283%29
3: sqrt%285%29+%2B+sqrt%283%29
:
Add the three sides:
P = 4 + (sqrt%285%29+-+sqrt%283%29) + (sqrt%285%29+%2B+sqrt%283%29)
:
remove the brackets, group like terms
P = 4 + sqrt%285%29+%2B+sqrt%285%29+-+sqrt%283%29+%2B+sqrt%283%29
:
P = 4 + 2sqrt%285%29
