D) 35 inches
E) 36 inches

Answer 1

is it C

Answer 2

@Gdeinward

Answer 3

See what you think, but the triangle figure I dont know how you would find the exact length of the sides of the triangle, but it is safe to assume that the length is 5.

Answer 4

so the perimeters

25 - 5 = 20

Answer 5

is that correct

Answer 6

@dude

Answer 7

why did you subtract 5?

Answer 8

i thought...

Answer 9

If the area of the square is 25 inches, each side is 5 inches because 5*5 = 25.

If each side is 5 inches, can you figure out the total perimeter?

Answer 10

@Gdeinward

Answer 11

is it true that To get the perimeter of the square add up all the sides of the figure, so 3 sides of the square and 2 sides of the triangle

Answer 12

yes. so multiply those sides by 5.

Answer 13

that is what the image I posted represents

Answer 14

it's C

Answer 15

no, its 25.

Answer 16

5 times 5

Answer 17

oh sorry i did it wrong

Answer 18

B. 25

Answer 19

correct. good job

Answer 20

The area of the square is 25 in^2; therefore, each side of the square is 5 inches in length.
The base of the equilateral triangle is one side of the square, which makes the base and each side of the triangle equal 5 inches.

The perimeter only includes the distance around the figure.

P = 3 sides of the square + 2 sides of the equilateral triangle
P = 3(5) + 2(5)
P = 15 +10
P = 25 inches
