The perimeter of the triangle is 40 units
<h3>Perimeter of a triangle</h3>
From the question, we are to determine the perimeter of the given triangle
From the given diagram, we can observe that the triangle is a right triangle
The vertical length of the triangle is 15 units
and the horizontal length of the triangle is 8 units
Thus,
We can find the hypotenuse by using the<em> Pythagorean theorem </em>
Let the hypotenuse be h
Then,
h² = 15² + 8²
h² = 225 + 64
h² = 289
h = √289
h = 17 units
Now, for the perimeter of the triangle
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all its three sides
Thus,
The perimeter. P, of the triangle is
P = 15 + 8 + 17
P = 40 units
Hence, the perimeter of the triangle is 40 units
