Question

Ray is constructing a flowerbed for the zoo and wants to

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, flowerbed is in the shape of a right triangle,

By applying Pythagoras theorem in the given right triangle,

(Hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

(Hypotenuse)² = (12)² + (12)²

(Hypotenuse)² = 144 + 144

Hypotenuse = √288

Hypotenuse = 16.97

                     ≈ 17 ft

Perimeter of the triangle = Sum of the measures of three sides of the triangle

= 12 + 12 + 17

= 41 ft

Therefore, Option (3) will be the correct option.
