Question

Write a linear expression in simplest form to represent the perimeter of the trapezoid below. Then find the perimeter if the value of x is 6 yards. (7x + 3) yd (6x + 3) yd (6x + 3) yd (5x) yd ​

Answer 1

(24x+9)yd

153yd

Explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of all the sides, so put all the sides together.

(7x+3)+(6x+3)+(6x+3)+(5x)

7x+6x+6x+5x+3+3+3

24x+9

IF x=6:

(24(6)+9)yd

(144+9)yd

153yd
