The perimeter of a triangle is 27.1 feet. The sides of the triangle
measure 9.8 feet, 10.9 feet, and x feet. Write and solve an equation to find
the length of the missing side.

Answer:

6.4

Step-by-step explanation:

9.8 + 10.9 + x = 27.1

20.7 + x = 27.1

x = 6.4

We know perimeter of triangle=sum of sides

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 9.8+10.9+x=2.71[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x+20.7=2.71[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=2.7-20.7[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=|-18|[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto x=18ft[/tex]
