A triangle has side lengths of (4.6x-4.4y)(4.6x−4.4y) centimeters, (7.5x-8.8z)(7.5x−8.8z) centimeters, and (7.7z-9.2y)(7.7z−9.2y) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?

Respuesta :

The expression that represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle is [tex]77.41x^{2}+104y^{2}+ 136.73z^{2} -40.48xy - 132xz - 141.64yz[/tex] cm OR 77.41x²+104y²+136.73z²-40.48xy-132xz-141.64yz centimeters

From the question, the side lengths are

(4.6x-4.4y)(4.6x−4.4y) cm, (7.5x-8.8z)(7.5x−8.8z) cm, and  (7.7z-9.2y)(7.7z−9.2y) cm.

First, we will clear the brackets one after the other

For  (4.6x-4.4y)(4.6x−4.4y) cm

[tex]4.6x(4.6x-4.4y) -4.4y(4.6x-4.4y)[/tex]

[tex]21.16x^{2} -20.24xy -20.24xy+19.36y^{2}[/tex]

[tex]21.16x^{2} -40.48xy+19.36y^{2}[/tex]

∴ (4.6x-4.4y)(4.6x−4.4y) cm = [tex]21.16x^{2} -40.48xy+19.36y^{2}[/tex] cm

For  (7.5x-8.8z)(7.5x−8.8z) cm

[tex]7.5x(7.5x-8.8z) -8.8z(7.5x-8.8z)[/tex]

[tex]56.25x^{2} - 66xz -66xz + 77.44z^{2}[/tex]

[tex]56.25x^{2} - 132xz + 77.44z^{2}[/tex]

∴ (7.5x-8.8z)(7.5x−8.8z) cm = [tex]56.25x^{2} - 132xz + 77.44z^{2}[/tex]  cm

For (7.7z-9.2y)(7.7z−9.2y) cm

[tex]7.7z(7.7z-9.2y)-9.2y(7.7z-9.2y)[/tex]

[tex]59.29z^{2} - 70.84yz-70.84yz+84.64y^{2}[/tex]

[tex]59.29z^{2} - 141.64yz+84.64y^{2}[/tex]

∴ (7.7z-9.2y)(7.7z−9.2y) cm =  [tex]59.29z^{2} - 141.64yz+84.64y^{2}[/tex] cm

Now, for the expression that represents the perimeter of the triangle,

Perimeter of a triangle can be calculated by determining the sum of all its sides

That is,

Perimeter of the triangle =  [tex]21.16x^{2} -40.48xy+19.36y^{2}[/tex] cm + [tex]56.25x^{2} - 132xz + 77.44z^{2}[/tex]  cm + [tex]59.29z^{2} - 141.64yz+84.64y^{2}[/tex] cm

[tex]=21.16x^{2} -40.48xy+19.36y^{2} + 56.25x^{2} - 132xz + 77.44z^{2} + 59.29z^{2} - 141.64yz+84.64y^{2}[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]= 21.16x^{2}+ 56.25x^{2} -40.48xy+19.36y^{2}+84.64y^{2} - 132xz + 77.44z^{2} + 59.29z^{2} - 141.64yz[/tex]

[tex]= 77.41x^{2} -40.48xy+104y^{2} - 132xz + 136.73z^{2} - 141.64yz[/tex]

[tex]= 77.41x^{2}+104y^{2}+ 136.73z^{2} -40.48xy - 132xz - 141.64yz[/tex] cm

Hence, the expression that represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle is [tex]77.41x^{2}+104y^{2}+ 136.73z^{2} -40.48xy - 132xz - 141.64yz[/tex] cm OR 77.41x²+104y²+136.73z²-40.48xy-132xz-141.64yz centimeters
