Question

A triangle has side lengths of (6.2p + 4.5q) meters, (3.4p – 0.7r) meters, and (2.9r – 4.1q) meters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in meters, of the triangle?

A 9.6p + 0.4q + 2.2r
B 9.6p + 7.4q – 4.8r
C 9.6p – 1.2qr
D 10.7pq + 2.7pr – 1.2qr

Answer 1

Answer:

9.6p + 0.4q + 2.2r meters (answer A)

Step-by-step explanation:

We sum up the three side lengths to obtain the perimeter of the triangle:

 (6.2p + 4.5q) meters, , and (2.9r – 4.1q) meters

+ (3.4p – 0.7r) meters

+ (2.9r – 4.1q) meters

---------------------------------

9.6p + 0.4q + 2.2r meters (answer A)
