this is so confusing .. can you at least set it up in the formula how i should add it together ? i don't get it ....

Answer 6

I don't understand either.

Answer 7

add y+5+7.5+12.5+17.5++10

Answer 8

also add 4+14z+4.5+3+2x+1 for the other polygon

compare them as they are same

Answer 9

but it only asks what the perimeter is for BRAIN . and what do i put in for y ? i can't just add y with the numbers .

Answer 10

Does the question provide any other information?

Answer 11

just the picture .

Answer 12

Maybe you have to make some sort of ratio if we assume they are similar shapes

Answer 13

equate 2x+1=12.5, 14z=7.5, 5+y=4.5, that should help you out

Answer 14

yes i thought of that but 10 does not = 4
nor does 7.5 = 3

Answer 15

think think,you are pretty close

Answer 16

Answer 17

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_theorem I still don't get it
