high vigil Help me

you are back!

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:24 AM

#

Yes! Hi

#

Long time haven’t seen you

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:25 AM

#

high vigil Long time haven’t seen you

back to the problem

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:25 AM

#

Yep

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:25 AM

#

we can already add the given values

indigo badger Oct 13, 2024, 1:25 AM

#

find the perimeter in terms of x

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:25 AM

#

but we need to find those 2 missing sides, right?

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:26 AM

#

Yeah

#

We gotta find the missing sides

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:26 AM

#

let’s call the bottommost segment y

#

the one that is sticking out at the bottom

#

we know that 3x+y+2=5x+1

#

because all of the partitioned side lengths on the bottom side equal to 5x+1 (the side in the top)

#

now solve for y and tell me what you get

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:28 AM

#

Ok

#

Is y = 2x?

#

It’s look the same size as 2x

indigo badger Oct 13, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

close

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

high vigil Is y = 2x?

solve for y using the equation i gave

indigo badger Oct 13, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

(there happens to be a faster way of doing this, but it's a bit less intuitive)

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

indigo badger (there happens to be a faster way of doing this, but it's a bit less intuitive)

(teach basics first 👍)

indigo badger Oct 13, 2024, 1:30 AM

#

icy garnet (teach basics first 👍)

(ok)

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:30 AM

#

2x + 4?

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:30 AM

#

indigo badger (ok)

(why are we talking in parentheses)

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:30 AM

#

high vigil 2x + 4?

no

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:30 AM

#

icy garnet we know that 3x+y+2=5x+1

look here

#

gotta subtract 3x and 2 from both sides

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:31 AM

#

Oh wait it’s 2x - 1

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:31 AM

#

👍

#

now we solve for the other side

indigo badger Oct 13, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

i will explain the other method afterwards

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

could you try that one?

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:32 AM

#

Oh and the other missing side is 2x+4

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:33 AM

#

yep

#

now add everything together

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:33 AM

#

(5x+1)+2x+2+(2x+4)+(2x-1)+4+3x+4x=18x+10

#

X=4

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:33 AM

#

yeap 3am

#

good job!

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:34 AM

#

Thank you

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 1:34 AM

#

@indigo badger now explain the other method

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:35 AM

#

Um maybe I should stick with the basic method

indigo badger Oct 13, 2024, 1:37 AM

#

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 1:39 AM

#

Oh.

indigo badger Oct 13, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

pick up side lengths and place them in more convenient spots

#

create rectangle

#

perimeter

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

Can u explain better

jagged cairn Oct 13, 2024, 6:32 PM

#

2(5x+1+4x+4)=82

#

@high vigil

icy garnet Oct 13, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

high vigil Can u explain better

like, shifting the sides so that they connect, as shown in the diagram.

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 6:34 PM

#

Oh ok

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 7:22 PM

#

jagged cairn 2(5x+1+4x+4)=82

Where did u get the 2 at the beginning from?

jagged cairn Oct 13, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

high vigil Where did u get the 2 at the beginning from?

length=5x+1 width=4x+4

#

perimeter=2*(length+width)

jagged cairn Oct 13, 2024, 7:36 PM

#

indigo badger

base on this rectangle

high vigil Oct 13, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

Oh

#

Can it be possible for u to give me a question similar to see if I get it
