Question

Given: Triangle HJF
ANGLE F CONG, ANGLE J
HF=X+6
HJ=3X-2
FJ=3X
BY SOLVING FOR X, FINF THE PERIMETER OF TRIANGLE HJF

Answer 1

ANGLE F CONG, ANGLE J
so
HF = HJ (sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
so we can write
x+6 =3x-2

Answer 2

i hope you can do further

Answer 4

perimeter of the triangle is given by the sum of the sides
x=4 is correct
now try to find the length of each side

Answer 5

HF= 10
HJ=10
FJ=12
is this correct?

Answer 6
