Find an expression that represents its perimeter:
Long slanted Side 3/4x =
= =
= = 1/x^2 Short side
= =
=======================
5/x^2 Bottom of triangle
To find the perimeter of any polygon, we add the sides together:
P=3%2F4x%2B1%2Fx%5E2%2B5%2Fx%5E2
P=3x%2F%284x%2Ax%29%2B1%2A4%2F%284%2Ax%5E2%29%2B5%2A4%2F%284%2Ax%5E2%29
P=3x%2F4x%5E2%2B4%2F4x%5E2%2B20%2F4x%5E2
P=%283x%2B4%2B20%29%2F4x%5E2
highlight%28P=%283x%2B24%29%2F4x%5E2%29
