Q. A triangle has side lengths of (9.1g−3.1) centimeters, (1.4g+4.2) centimeters, and (1.9h+4.4) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?6.3h+10.5g+1.15.6+6.3h+6g10.5g+1.9h+5.511.6g+6.3h
Identify Given Side Lengths: Identify the given side lengths of the triangle.Side 1: (9.1g−3.1) cmSide 2: (1.4g+4.2) cmSide 3: (1.9h+4.4) cmThe perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides.
Calculate Perimeter: Add the expressions for each side length to find the perimeter.Perimeter = (9.1g−3.1)+(1.4g+4.2)+(1.9h+4.4)Combine like terms to simplify the expression.
Combine Terms and Simplify: Combine the terms with g.(9.1g+1.4g)=10.5g Combine the constant terms (−3.1+4.2+4.4).(−3.1+4.2+4.4)=5.5 Combine the terms with h.(1.9h)=1.9h Now, add the simplified terms together. Perimeter = 10.5g+1.9h+5.5
