The perimeter of the triangle below is 89 units. Find the length of side BC.
Write your answer without variables.

Answer:
BC = 10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = Sum of all sides
y + 1 + 4y + 5y - 2 = 89 units
y + 4y + 5y + 1 - 2 = 89
Combine like terms,
10y - 1 = 89
Add 1 to both sides,
10y = 89 + 1
10y = 90
Divide both sides by 10,
y = 90 ÷ 10
y = 9 units
BC = y + 1
= 9 + 1
= 10 units
