The perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the figure.
3h + 4j + 5
Practice makes perfect
We want to write an expression for the perimeter of the figure from the following diagram.
This figure has 2 sides that are 2j units long, one 5 units long, and one 3h units long. To find the perimeter, we can sum these lengths.
2( 2j) + 5 + 3h
Now that we have an expression for the perimeter, let's rewrite it in a simplest form.
