@perl

@MARC_ can u help ?

@mathmath333 ?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

it is given that the two figures are similar so their sides must be proportional hence \(\large \begin{align} \color{black}{\dfrac{12.5}{2x+1}=\dfrac{7.5}{3} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ }\end{align}\) see if that makes sense

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

solve for \(\large x\) now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok x = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmath333

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes \(\Huge \checkmark\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what do i do next

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\large \begin{align} \color{black}{\dfrac{y+5}{4.5}=\dfrac{7.5}{3} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \dfrac{17.5}{14z}=\dfrac{10}{4} \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ }\end{align}\) similarly find \(y\) and \(z\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = 6.25 z = 0.5

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yes correct ! so perimeter of \(\large \begin{align} \color{black}{POWEQ=PO+OW+WE+EQ+PQ\\~\\ \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ =4.5+3+2x+1+14z+4\\~\\ \hspace{.33em}\\~\\ }\end{align}\) substitute the value of \(x\) and \(z\) and get the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so i got 2x + 14z + 12.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(6.25) + 14(0.5) + 12.5 = 12.5 + 7 +12.5 = 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think thats how i do it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz help me x[

OpenStudy (anonymous):

after i got 2x + 14z + 12.5 i dont know what to do next

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathmath333

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

well i m getting \(23.5\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

something is wrong in here 2(6.25) + 14(0.5) + 12.5 = 12.5 + 7 +12.5 = 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i know

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

well retry
