Solution
The image you uploaded contains a problem that asks for expressions in terms of for the perimeter of various shapes. Here’s how you can solve each one:
Problem 1: Perimeter Expressions
For each shape, you need to sum the lengths of all sides to find the perimeter expression.
a) Square
Each side of the square is given as .
- Perimeter:
- Simplified:
b) Rectangle
The lengths of the sides are and .
- Perimeter:
- Simplified:
c) Hexagon
Each side of the hexagon is given as .
- Perimeter:
- Simplified:
d) Triangle
The sides are , , and .
- Perimeter:
- Simplified:
Problem 2: Area Expressions (Not requested but visible in the image)
If you also want to find the area for each shape:
a) Square
Area:
b) Rectangle
Area:
c) Hexagon
(The problem does not give enough information for area calculation; typically, the area of a regular hexagon would require side length and an appropriate formula.)
d) Triangle
(The area of a triangle would need height, which is not provided.)
Would you like more details or have any questions about these solutions?
Further Questions:
- What is the perimeter formula for a general polygon with sides, each side length ?
- How do you find the area of a regular hexagon if the side length is ?
- If one side of a square is doubled, how does the perimeter change?
- How would you derive the area expression for the triangle if its height were known?
- What are the general steps for simplifying algebraic expressions?
Tip: Always combine like terms and apply distributive property for simplifying expressions effectively.
