You can put this solution on YOUR website!
As you know, the perimeter of a closed figure such as you show in you diagram, is found by adding the lengths of all the sides.
\n" ); document.write( "In your eight-sided figure, you have sides:
\n" ); document.write( "(x+8)+5+x+(x+12)+x+2x+(x+8)+34 Now if you simplify this by combining like-terms, you'll get:
\n" ); document.write( "7x+67 So now you can write the polynomial equation for the perimeter, P:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28P+=+7x%2B67%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
