Answer:
[tex]P=24\sqrt{x}[/tex] and [tex]A=36x[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the perimeter of the triangle, you have to add all the sides of the triangle. So, we get:
[tex]P=8\sqrt{x} +7\sqrt{x} +9\sqrt{x}[/tex]
Combine like terms, meaning the numbers with [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex]
[tex]P=24\sqrt{x}[/tex]
To find the area of the triangle, we will use the formula [tex]A=\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex], where b is the base and h is the height
The base is: [tex]9\sqrt{x}[/tex]
The height is: [tex]8\sqrt{x}[/tex]
Plug and chug:
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} *9\sqrt{x} *8\sqrt{x}[/tex]
[tex]A=\frac{1}{2} *72x\\A=36x[/tex]
