117 units. hope this helped
Answer:
117
Step-by-step explanation:
So basically, how I figured it out is 20-15 is 1/4 of 20. So I had to find the 1/4 of 52 which is 13. But 15 is 3/4 of 20 so then you multiply 13 times 3 which is 39.
10 is half of 20. So you find half of 52. Which is 26.
52+39+26 is your equation.
Which adds up to 117. So 117 is your answer
I used 20 because in the smaller triangle 20 was the largest side like 52 in the biggest triangle.
Brainliest would be highly appreciated
Please tell me if it is wrong
Have a great day!
