Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Choice "a"

Discussion:

See attachment for definition of sides

Perimeter = a + b + c

where a,b are sides and c is the hypotenuse. So

Perimeter =

7 (1/2) + 7 ( sqrt(3)/2) + 7 =

7 ( 1/2 + sqrt(3)/2 + 1) = => as 1/2 + 1 = 3/2

7( 3/2 + sqrt(3)/2) ) = => factor (1/2) form each term

(7/2) ( 3 + sqrt(3))

which is Choice "a".


Thank you,

MrB
