Question

 The length of each of the sides of a heptagon are 4x + 6. Which equation can be used to find p, the perimeter of the heptagon?
A. p=4x+13


B. p=28x+6


C. p=4/7x+6/7


D. p=28x+42

 

Answer 1

Hi Anthony, a heptagon has seven sides. The perimeter, p, would be 7 times the length of a side.

 

p = 7 * (4x + 6)

 

p = 28x + 42

 

Answer D is the correct response.
