perimeter is sum of all sides

kylemp1, does that drawing follow the description?

anonymous · Answer

therefore 2x + x + x + 13 = 125
4x = 125-13
4x = 112
x = 28

anonymous · Answer

I'm pretty sure, it just gives me the question, but no drawing

anonymous · Answer

there fore dimension is x = 28
2x = 56 
x+13 = 41

anonymous · Answer

so the shortest side is 28, the second side is 41, and the third is side is 51?

across · Answer

Look at the drawing and solve the equation$$(x)+(2x)+(x+13)=125.$$
