1) A square has a side length of 10 inches. What is the perimeter?

2) A Triangle has side lengths if 2x - 7, 5x - 3 and 2x - 2. What is the perimeter of the triangle?

3) What is the perimeter of the triangle if x=6?

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Perimeter of a plane shape is the distance round the shape. The formula for the perimeter of a square is expressed as

Perimeter = 4 * length of one side

Since the length of one side is given as 10 inches,

The perimeter = 4*10 = 40 inches.

2) the side lengths of the triangle are 2x - 7, 5x - 3 and 2x - 2. The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as

a + b + c

Where a, b and c are the length of the sides of the triangle.

Perimeter = 2x - 7 + 5x - 3 + 2x - 2 = (9x - 12) inches

3) if x=6, the perimeter of the triangle would be

9*6 - 12 = 54 - 12 = 42 inches

1) 40

2) 9x-12

3) 42

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A square has 4 sides, and if one side's length is 10, the perimeter (distance around the square) is 10 times 4=40

2) Simply add these values together to get 9x-12

3) Plug in 6 as x in 9x-12. (6*9) - 12=54-12=42
