Q. A triangle has side lengths of (10w+9) (10 w+9) centimeters, (5w3) (5 w-3) centimeters, and (8x+10) (8 x+10) centimeters. Which expression represents the perimeter, in centimeters, of the triangle?\newline21w+18x 21 w+18 x \newline8x+15w+16 8 x+15 w+16 \newline18x+6+15w 18 x+6+15 w \newline18x+19w+2 18 x+19 w+2
  1. Perimeter Expression: The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides.\newlineTo find the perimeter, we add the expressions for the side lengths together.\newlinePerimeter = (10w+9)+(5w3)+(8x+10)(10w + 9) + (5w - 3) + (8x + 10)
  2. Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms to simplify the expression.\newlinePerimeter = 10w+5w+8x+93+1010w + 5w + 8x + 9 - 3 + 10\newlinePerimeter = (10w+5w)+(8x)+(9+103)(10w + 5w) + (8x) + (9 + 10 - 3)
  3. Perform Addition and Subtraction: Perform the addition and subtraction.\newlinePerimeter = 15w+8x+1615w + 8x + 16
  4. Final Perimeter Expression: The expression for the perimeter of the triangle is 15w+8x+1615w + 8x + 16. This matches one of the given options.
