Ok so for number 5, AB is proportional to BC just like PQ is proportional to QR. AB = 9, BC = 15, PQ = 3, and QR = x. 9/15 = 3/x. Cross Multiply: This gives you - 9x = 45. Divide both sides by 9, and you get x = 5. QR = 5
Answer:
14x + 23
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of three sides of a triangle are 5x + 9 feet, 2x + 14 feet, and 7x feet.
The perimeter of a triangle: the sum of all of its sides.
5x + 9 + 2x + 14 + 7x
14x + 23
It's the expression of the perimeter of the triangle. Once you will be asked to find x, you'll probably be given the exact perimeter of the triangle.
