a paved brick is 3x , 2x+2 , 5x-3 , 2x+2
find the perimeter of five bricks
can somebody help me with this problem plz
a brick only has 3 dimensions.
Not sure what to do with the 4 values you give.
in my book it gives me that problem
i really need HELP with this
We can't help you because your problem appears to have an error.
As you stated it, the problem can not be solved.
do you thin if i take out one of the 2x+2 what would the answer be different
This is Cayla's mom, it really has it in her book. This is one of those tricky answers hopefully...Thank you for helping us.
It's not a tricky answer. It's a mistake. Have Cayla check with her teacher about it.
Also, solids are not generally considered to have perimeters. They have volume and surface area.
I guess the sum of the 12 edges could be considered a perimeter, but it's an unusual terminology.
To find the perimeter of five bricks, we need to add up the lengths of all the sides of the five bricks.
Given that one brick has sides of lengths 3x, 2x+2, 5x-3, and 2x+2, we can calculate the total length by adding up the lengths of each side:
Perimeter of one brick = 3x + 2x + 2 + 5x - 3 + 2x + 2
= 12x - 1
Since we have five bricks, we can find the total perimeter by multiplying the perimeter of one brick by five:
Total perimeter of five bricks = 5 * (12x - 1)
= 60x - 5
Therefore, the perimeter of five bricks is 60x - 5.
