The correct Answer is:
To find the third side of the triangle given the perimeter and the lengths of two sides, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given information**: - Perimeter of the triangle: \( P = 6p^2 - 4p + 9 \) - First side: \( A = p^2 - 2p + 1 \) - Second side: \( B = 3p^2 - 5p + 3 \) 2. **Set up the equation for the perimeter**: The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three sides: \[ P = A + B + C \] where \( C \) is the third side we need to find. 3. **Substitute the known values into the equation**: \[ 6p^2 - 4p + 9 = (p^2 - 2p + 1) + (3p^2 - 5p + 3) + C \] 4. **Combine the expressions for sides A and B**: \[ A + B = (p^2 - 2p + 1) + (3p^2 - 5p + 3) \] Combine like terms: - \( p^2 + 3p^2 = 4p^2 \) - \( -2p - 5p = -7p \) - \( 1 + 3 = 4 \) So, we have: \[ A + B = 4p^2 - 7p + 4 \] 5. **Substitute back into the perimeter equation**: \[ 6p^2 - 4p + 9 = (4p^2 - 7p + 4) + C \] 6. **Isolate C**: Rearranging gives: \[ C = (6p^2 - 4p + 9) - (4p^2 - 7p + 4) \] 7. **Simplify the expression for C**: Distributing the negative sign: \[ C = 6p^2 - 4p + 9 - 4p^2 + 7p - 4 \] Combine like terms: - \( 6p^2 - 4p^2 = 2p^2 \) - \( -4p + 7p = 3p \) - \( 9 - 4 = 5 \) Thus, we find: \[ C = 2p^2 + 3p + 5 \] ### Final Answer: The third side of the triangle is \( C = 2p^2 + 3p + 5 \). ---
