what is the perimeter of parallelogram with sides of 3x + 5 and x +7?
2(3x + 5) + 2(x + 7)
6x + 10 + 2x + 14
8x + 24 = p
that would be 2(3x + 5 + x +7) = 8x+24
To find the perimeter of a parallelogram, we need to add up the lengths of all four sides.
In this case, the given sides of the parallelogram are 3x + 5 and x + 7.
To find the perimeter, we need to add the lengths of the two adjacent sides. So, the perimeter (P) can be calculated as:
P = (3x + 5) + (x + 7)
Now, we can simplify and combine like terms:
P = 3x + x + 5 + 7
P = 4x + 12
Hence, the perimeter of the parallelogram with sides of 3x + 5 and x + 7 is 4x + 12.
