Write an expression for the perimeter of the triangle shown below: A triangle is shown with side lengths labeled 0.3x plus 24, 5x, and 0.2x minus 15.

The expression is 5.5x + 9  for the perimeter of the triangle described.

Step-by-step explanation: Add the three lengths given to find the perimeter.

 0.3x + 24,

+ 5x,

+ 0.2x - 15   Combine like terms

=5.5x +  9

step-by-step explanation:

no, her answer is not correct.   we square the lengths of all sides and then determine whether the pythagorean theorem holds here:

9² + 15² = 306.   this is not equal to the square of the longest side ( that square being 395.   answer c is correct.
