Q. A triangle has side lengths of (9.3p−1.3q) centimeters, (9.6p+6.9r) centimeters, and (4.2r+3.1q) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?7.3r+18.9p+5.6q8pq+16.5pr+7.3qr8.7qr+23.1pr18.9p+1.8q+11.1r
Add Side Lengths: To find the perimeter of the triangle, we need to add the lengths of all three sides together. The side lengths are given as (9.3p−1.3q) cm, (9.6p+6.9r) cm, and (4.2r+3.1q) cm. Let's add these expressions together to get the perimeter.Perimeter = (9.3p−1.3q)+(9.6p+6.9r)+(4.2r+3.1q)
Combine Like Terms: Now, we combine like terms to simplify the expression. We will add the coefficients of p, q, and r separately.Perimeter = (9.3p+9.6p)+(−1.3q+3.1q)+(6.9r+4.2r)
Perform Addition: Perform the addition for each variable.Perimeter = 18.9p+1.8q+11.1r
Final Perimeter: The simplified expression for the perimeter is 18.9p+1.8q+11.1r centimeters. This matches one of the given options.
