Algebra.Com's Answer #5655 by rapaljer(4671)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The perimeter of the triangle = sum of the three sides. \n" ); document.write( "P = 3x + 4x + 5x = 12x\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If x= 8 inches, then P= 12x = 12(8 inches) or 96 inches.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To answer in feet, you must divide the previous answer by 12, since there are 12 inches in a foot. This would be 96/12 = 8 feet.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "R^2 at SCC \n" ); document.write( " |
