Question 155600: FK=2x
KJ=3x-6
HJ=5x-12
FH=2x=2
___ __
line FK is congruent to line HJ
Find the perimeter of FKJH
I wish I could draw the line segment & congruent lines/symbols but the computer will not allow it. I hope someone will understand.
I would appreciate any help & a break down of how you figure this out. My mind is a blank & I am trying to help my 13yo daughter

"line FK is congruent to line HJ" __ 2x=5x-12 __ subtracting 2x and adding 12 __ 12=3x __ 4=x

"plug in" x to find the side lengths and add the sides together to find the perimeter
