12. the perimeter of the following triangle is 60 inches. find the lengths of the sides.
2x + 5
2x+5
5x + 5

Lengths of the sides in the given order

15 inches

15 inches

30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The total of the sides,

(2x + 5) + (2x + 5) + (5x + 5)...then add the variables with x together and those without x together.

; 9x + 15

Hence if the perimetre of the triangle is 60 in

then...; 9x + 15 = 60

; 9x = 45

;Hence the variable.., x = 5

Lengths of the sides,

Substitute the value of x into the given lengths of the sides,

2(5) + 5 = 15 inches

2(5) + 5 = 15 inches

5(5) + 5 = 30 inches

$4034.40

the perimeter of the field is the sum of the lengths of the four sides:

47 yd + 158 yd + 47 yd + 158 yd = 410 yd

the cost of 3 ft (1 yd) of fence is 3×$3.28 = $9.84.

so the cost of jake's wood perimeter fance is

(410 yd) × ($9.84 /yd) = $4034.40
