The expression to represent the perimeter of the triangle is 3.6x - 24
The value of x when perimeter of the triangle equals 12 is 10.
An equilateral triangle has all its sides equal to each other.
The perimeter of a figure is the sum of all its sides. A triangle has three sides.
Therefore,
perimeter = 1.2x- 8 + 1.2x - 8 + 1.2x - 8
perimeter = 3.6x - 24
If the triangle has a perimeter of 12 the value of x can be found below:
12 = 3.6x - 24
12 + 24 = 3.6x
3.6x = 36
divide both sides by 3.6
3.6x / 3.6 = 36 / 3.6
x = 10
