Answer

The perimeter of a triangle = 8y2 - 9y + 4

Two sides are 3y2 - 5y and 4y2 + 12

Let the third side be S.

As we know that, perimeter of triangle = sum of all its side.

8y2 - 9y + 4 = (3y2 - 5y) + (4y2 + 12) + S

⇒ 8y2 - 9y + 4 = 3y2 - 5y + 4y2 + 12 + S

⇒ 8y2 - 9y + 4 = (3y2 + 4y2) - 5y + 12 + S

⇒ 8y2 - 9y + 4 = 7y2 - 5y + 12 + S

⇒ S = (8y2 - 9y + 4) - (7y2 - 5y + 12)

⇒ S = 8y2 - 9y + 4 - 7y2 + 5y - 12

⇒ S = (8y2 - 7y2) + (- 9y + 5y) + (4 - 12)

⇒ S = 1y2 - 4y - 8

Hence, the third side of triangle = (y2 - 4y - 8)
