Problem: To solve this problem...
Find X in this perimeter problem:

The perimeter is 144 feet

Make an equation where you add all the side lengths (involving "x") to equal the perimeter. Combine the "x" terms and rewrite the equation. Remember (for example) that 8x + 2x = 10x. Then solve the equation for "x", the shortest side.
Enter your answer:
Your answer may be in any of the following forms:
  • Integer (positive,negative,zero)
  • Decimal (must be accurate to 4 places)
  • Fraction (e.g., '3/4')
  • Mixed number (e.g., '4 3/4')
  • Scientific notation (e.g., '1.2e-02')
  • Single words, correctly spelled (e.g.,'isosceles')
