The perimeter of the triangle shown in Fig. 7.1 is

2x + y
x + 2y
x + y
2x – y
Perimeter means the total length around the triangle — we add all its sides.
From the figure, the three sides are: x, x, and y.
Write the sum:
( ext{Perimeter} = x + x + y)
Add like terms:
(x + x = 2x)
So, the perimeter becomes:
(2x + y)
Answer: Option A — (2x + y).
