Claire bought just enough fencing to enclose either a rectangular garden or a triangular garden, as shown. the two gardens have the same perimeter. how many feet of fencing did she buy?

To find the perimeter of the rectangle, you would add all sides or use P=2L+2w (Perimeter = 2 times the length plus 2 times the width)

P= 2(3x-3) + 2(x-3)

P=6x-6+2x-6

P=8x-12

To find the perimeter of the triangle, add all the sides.

P=(2x-1)+2x+(2x-1)

P=6x-2

Now we know that both of the perimeters are the same so we can set them equal to each other.

8x-12 = 6x-2   solve by subtracting 6x from both sides.

2x-12 = -2   then add 12 to both sides

2x=10   last divide by 2 on both sides

x=5

Now replace x with 5 on either the rectangle or the triangle. I will use the triangle.

P=(2x-1)+2x+(2x-1)

P=(2*5-1)+2*5+(2*5-1)

P=28 feet

describing distributions is one of the key skills you’ll need to earn a high score on the ap statistics exam. if you need proof of this, just flip through some past exam questions, which can be found at the collegeboard website. you’ll notice that the first free response question is almost always a question requiring you to look at a graph and describe it.

6e14 is the answer.
