Answer:
The perimeter of the triangle 198 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
In a right angled triangle, a and b are the length of the legs and c is length of the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean Theorem:
Sum of square of the legs is equal to square of hypotenuse.
∴a²+b²=c²
a= ?, b= 77 cm and c=85 cm
a²+77²=85²
⇒a²+5929=7225
⇒a²=7225-5929
⇒a²= 1296
⇒a = 36 cm
The perimeter of the triangle = sum of all sides
=a+b+c
=(36+77+85) cm
= 198 cm
