3. What is the perimeter of VPQR? Show your work. Help

Answer 1

`17ft`

Explanation:

I expect the question is to find perimeter of `triangle PQR` .
There are two triangles given (PQR , STU) These are congruent by SAS
`PQ=ST`
`QR=UT`
`angle PQR= angle STU`
`triangle PQR ~= triangle STU` (SAS congruence rule)
using the property CPCT (corresponding parts of congruent triangles)
`3y-2=y+4`
`3y-y=+4+2`
`2y=6`
`y=3`;
perimeter of `triangle PQR` `=6+4+3(3)-2`
`10+9-2 = 17 ft`
