Question

What is the length of the shortest side if the perimeter is equal to 60 feet?

Answer 1

i got 5 ft..?

Answer 2

2x + 8 + 3x - 2 + 5x + 4 = 60
10x +10 = 60
10x = 60 - 10
10x = 50

x = 5

that's just x

Answer 3

you need to find out the measure of each sides

2x + 8 = 2(5) + 8 = 18

3x - 2 = 3(5) - 2 = 13

5x + 4 = 5(5) - 4 = 29

which one is the smallest?

Answer 4
