Question

find the perimeter. simplify your answer.
8s - 3
5s - 2
6s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula for triangle

The perimeter \( P \) of a triangle is the sum of its three side lengths. So, \( P=(8s - 3)+(5s - 2)+6s \).

Step2: Combine like terms

First, combine the \( s \)-terms: \( 8s+5s + 6s=19s \).
Then, combine the constant terms: \( - 3-2=-5 \).

So, the perimeter is \( 19s-5 \).

Answer:

\( 19s - 5 \)
