Dwayne's garden is triangle-shaped with two equal sides and a third side that is 4 ft more than the length of an equal side. If the perimeter is 49 ft, how long is each side? Which equation represents this? 2x = 49 2x + 4 = 49 3x = 49 3x + 4 = 49
It is because a triangle has 2 sides and the question shows that 2 triangles equal the same so that becomes 2x. The third side is 4 so u add that to 2x which becomes 2x+4 and the perimeter equals 49 so basically the equation should be 2x + 4 = 49.
ANOTHER EXPLANATION: The equation for perimeter is P=L+W SO SUBSTITUTE ALL THE NUMBERS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE QUESTION AND THEN U CAN GET UR ANSWER.
