OpenStudy (anonymous):

i tried 5z-1+z+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

probably wrong steps. :/

hero (hero):

If ux is the bisector of v, then UX = XW

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know 46 is NOT my answer cuz thats how i got it wrong the frst time. o: So im left with A,C,D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so you mean, 3z-4=z+6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

z=5

hero (hero):

You have everything you need to find the perimeter now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i plug in 5 with the other part of the problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5(5)-1=4

hero (hero):

You plug 5 back into the expressions to find their values.

hero (hero):

5(5) - 1 = 25 - 1 = 24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3(5)-4=15-4=11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24+11=35

hero (hero):

Yes, but you're not done of course

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no? o:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what else?

hero (hero):

The perimeter is the distance around the figure. That means the length of every outer segment is included.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you lost me..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know you add up all the sides to get the perimeter.

hero (hero):

Yes. Have you done that yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought i did..

hero (hero):

You added every outer side of the triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...im confused...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought we did that.

hero (hero):

Perimeter of UVW = UV + VW + UW

hero (hero):

What's the length of UV?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uv+5z-1+3z-4+z+6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk what uv is, theres no number.

hero (hero):

lol what the...

hero (hero):

You shouldn't do it that way. Find the numerical length of each segment.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont function well when im lacking sleep. D: ...use words that i can understand. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No doctor language.

hero (hero):

UW = 3z - 4 + z + 6 = `4z + 2` = 4(5) + 2 = `22`

hero (hero):

UV = VW = 24

hero (hero):

UW + UV + VW = 24 + 24 + 22 = 48 + 22 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70=70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks i got my answer! :) woo.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should srsly get paid for this. (x
