Question

What is the perimeter of the triangle? units

Answer 1

Answer:

30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the two legs, or the shorter sides a and b, and the hypotenuse, the last and longest side, c.

We can already see that side a and b have the lengths of 5 and 12 units.

To find the length of c, use the formula a² + b² = c².

Substitute our a and b values into the formula and solve for c.

a² + b² = c²

5² + 12² = c²

25 + 144 = c²

169 = c²

√169 = √c²

13 = c

The third side is 13 units long.

Now we can add our values for a, b, and c together to find the perimeter.

5 + 12 + 13 = P

30 = P

The perimeter is 30 units.

Good luck ^^
