Q. A triangle has side lengths of (10w+9) centimeters, (5w−3) centimeters, and (8x+10) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?21w+18x8x+15w+1618x+6+15w18x+19w+2
Perimeter Expression: The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides.To find the perimeter, we add the expressions for the side lengths together.Perimeter = (10w+9)+(5w−3)+(8x+10)
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms to simplify the expression.Perimeter = 10w+5w+8x+9−3+10Perimeter = (10w+5w)+(8x)+(9+10−3)
Perform Addition and Subtraction: Perform the addition and subtraction.Perimeter = 15w+8x+16
Final Perimeter Expression: The expression for the perimeter of the triangle is 15w+8x+16. This matches one of the given options.
