Question 11 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

Kat is painting the edge of a triangular stage prop with reflective orange paint. The lengths of the edges of the triangle are 3 x minus 4 feet, x squared minus 1 feet, and 2 x squared minus 15 feet. What is the perimeter of the triangle if x is equal to 4 ?

Answer
A
16 feet
B
76 feet
C
80 feet
D
40 feet

Explanation

Substitute x = 4 into each edge length: 3(4) − 4 = 8 feet, 4² − 1 = 15 feet, and 2(4²) − 15 = 17 feet. Add the three edge lengths: 8 + 15 + 17 = 40 feet. The perimeter is 40 feet, choice D.
