Design An art class is making a mural for their school which has a triangle drawn in the middle. The
length of the bottom of the triangle is x. Another side is 5 more than three times the length of the
bottom of the triangle. The last side is 3 more than the bottom of the triangle. Write and simplify an
expression for the perimeter of the triangle.
What is the expression for the perimeter of the triangle?
(Simplify your answer.)

Answer 1

Expression for perimeter of triangle = 5x+8

Explanation:

Given that:

Length of bottom of triangle = b = x

Length of other side = a = 3x + 5

Length of last side = c = x + 3

Perimeter of triangle = a + b + c

Perimeter = (3x+5)+x+(x+3)

Perimeter = 3x+5+x+x+3

Perimeter = 5x + 8

Hence,

Expression for perimeter of triangle = 5x+8
