@iambatman

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well,perimeter is sum of all the sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so here you have 3x + 4x +5x = 54 find the value of x then put value of x in the sides and find out their length

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simple as that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok hold on, let me try work it out!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 4.5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah,so i guess you found out length of sides too? good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 x 4.5 = 13.5 4 x 4.5 = 18 5 x 4.5 = 22.5 @aajugdar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

13.5 + 18 + 22.5 = 54 :3 @aajugdar Again, thank you so much, my head was fuzzy and I couldn't get this, thanks for showing me the way :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats correct good job

OpenStudy (anonymous):
