Q. A triangle has side lengths of (n+9p) centimeters, (6n−8q) centimeters, and (2q−4p) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?9nq−3pq7n−12q+11p5p+7n−6q−2pq+10np−2nq
Identify Formula: : Identify the formula for the perimeter of a triangle.The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides, represented as P=a+b+c, where P is the perimeter, and a, b, and c are the lengths of the sides of the triangle.
Add Expressions: : Add the expressions for the side lengths to find the perimeter.Perimeter = n+9p + 6n−8q + 2q−4p
Combine Like Terms: : Combine like terms in the expression.Perimeter = n+6n+9p−4p−8q+2qPerimeter = 7n+5p−6q
Check Answer Choices: : Check the answer choices to see which one matches the calculated perimeter.The correct expression for the perimeter is 7n+5p−6q.
