Exercise 7 Page 399

Use the formula for perimeter of a triangle.

Linear Expression: 22x+10
Perimeter for x = 10mm: 230 millimeters

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given diagram of the triangle.

The perimeter of a figure is the sum of its side lengths. This gives us the following formula for the perimeter of our triangle. ( 7x+8) + ( 9x-4) + ( 6x+6) Let's simplify this expression. & 7x+8 &+ 9x-4 &+ 6x+6 & 22x + 10 The linear expression of the perimeter in a simplest form is 22x+10 millimeters. We want to find the value of the perimeter if x is 10 millimeters. Let's substitute 10 for x into our linear expression and simplify.
22x + 10
22( 10) + 10
220 + 10
230
The perimeter is 230 millimeters.
